Re your PS, I agree that it's probably not a good idea to have the EDA-2400 on the internet leg to the modem. But I've tried connecting with and without it and it really doesn't seem to make much difference in the stability of the connection. Sometimes it helps. [link|http://www.cabletvamps.com/comparison%20chart.htm|This] page at CableTVAmps gives some information on what types they recommend in which situation. Maybe I should have gotten a [link|http://www.cabletvamps.com/Products/EDA-FT08100.htm|EDA-FT08100]. :-/

When I have more time, I'll do some experiementing with the Java software and see if it says anything useful about the effect of the amplifier on the connection parameters.

Cheers,
Scott.
