I think I've found the source of the problem, as far as it applies
here, anyway. We went out for a brief local walk, before
S(WMBO)+(WILAC) got glued to Wimbledon, and, behold, in a neighbouring
street, three holes in the ground and a trench, all now filled in,
belonging to BT. I had reached Richard @ Orpheus by phone yesterday,
and he had said that the symptoms pointed to a line problem, and he
does seem to be right.
Now, the really odd bit ... I'd just finished transferring Messenger
and its friends and relations to VRPC via a memory stick (memo: next
time remember to put them all in a zip first!), and was beginning to
feel reasonably at home with Thunderbird, when there was a sudden
burst of activity of the light on the router which belongs to the Iyo.
Crossing my fingers, I fetched with NetFetch, and down came all the
messages! :-)
I have no explanation as to why the Windows machines could connect
intermittently yesterday and the Iyo couldn't, or why the Iyo's access
both failed and came back in the middle of a session, as they did, and
not at start-up. Can anyone think of what BT might have done to
explain this?

Now, some more advice, please. Do I get a new power supply now, in
case this is a false dawn, or is it all explicable as a line problem?
TIA,
With best wishes,
Peter.
