And that's *EXACTLY* what I'm saying is the wrong thing to do. Dunno where
you live, but go ahead, for whoever provides 'Net access to your home:
call them up, or email them, and tell them to contact manitu, and to
request that manitu put them on a whitelist.
Let me know when they get back to you. I'll look for your email sometime
around the time when you move and change providers.
