What?  No copper wire, wet towels,  and hand crank telephones where you 
live?  Just go local and keep jobs in Ibaraki.

Then again, I have accepted new config files to see whether I can 
eliminate some problem I may have created by issuing conflicting 
commands.  It only works as a setup strategy about 10% of the time but,

as your OS and then hope that you don't screw the same thing up again.
