I've been mulling over this email from you all week and trying to work up a reply that will help solve your issues.
Thank you for caring and thinking about me, but...
having one or more of us come to your house would be a quicker solution here.
That will not be necessary.
I think you're options are cable modem.
Yes, much as I hate Television, I must admit that coax cable is a good transmission medium.
Just disconnect everything.
Nothing was connected to begin.
So once you have signal and you can get on the internet, that issue is mostly solved.
Right. That would be nice. I have been working on it, and working on documenting it. Not done, but here: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/none/final.html#spectrum
Running ethernet or Wifi through the rest of the house is just icing on the cake.

So this is where having a VPS (Virtual Private Server) in the cloud running linux is a solution.
That's why I asked this list whether anyone had experience with Afterburt. http://www.free-comp-shop.com/none/final.html#after If nobody tells me not to do it (with reasons that I believe) I will get a VPS from them as soon as Spectrum works. I was working on it today. All hell broke; nothing worked, not the new stuff, and not the DSL that has been working (mostly) for years. I spent a frantic hour undoing everything, nothing helped. Finally, I did what I have done so many times in the past when the internet connection did not work. I power-cycled the DSL modem --- all better. Now who'll stop the rain? -- Keith
