Once that had been done, things seemed to be fairly normal.  But 
tonight, browsing freshmeat.net, I was trying to load some of the 
newsforge links, but they opened a blank page, and reported at the 
bottom of the screen 'stopped', which isn't a message I've seen before 
so I assumed it was selinux that dis-allowed it.  Then later, I 
discovered that there is a button switch below the led indicating the 
wireless is on the air that shuts it off.  But turning it back on 
didn't re-establish the link either, I had to do a network restart.

An hour later, this message comes in and I attempt to duplicate the 
breakage so I can report it here, and its working normally now.  Murphy 
is on the prowl again...  :(

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
