Hi, 

I'm in Boston, running -current i386 from about June 8.  
Everything has been working fine, but, tonight I can't 
seem to connect to google and other points in the 
West.  Do I have a problem here?  Starnet says they 
"can't talk to me" because I'm an end user, and "they 
are contractually obligated not to talk to end users."  

Here is traceroute output:
