--------
the only new info:
the imac now is running internet access ethernet , prev was on airport wless''
so, as of now, the imac seems to have survived the switch to att-uverse
which suggests f16 should be able to do also
but I have no clue
f16box still no internet
att today gave a runaround:
one tech said their normal support cant help at all w linux,
but for a one time charge $49, they could get me to
a support specialist,
after much crap on telephone finally get to this specialist,
he said they can't deal with linux either.
He 'thinks' we can get our $49 back.
please excuse sloppy format,
very painful transcribing f16 responses to paper,
then going back to wife's office, manually typing in
