Oh, there's more, which eliminates *.netbsd.org specifically.

If I do a netscape download of the new netscape (9MB), which usually takes
me about an hour or a little more, it stalls out and (again) I get:

        .... pppd[pid]: Modem hangup
        .... pppd[pid]: Connection terminated

This started happening, as near as I can recall, about the end of July
which happens to be when pppd was rebuilt on starwolf.  I can't narrow
it down definitively, though, unfortunately.  It's been performing
relatively well at 19.2kbps until recently.

The funny thing was that I was having more problems with a reget than
I was with a straight get on ftp, and I don't know why that is.

Assignment:  Think about and expound upon the possibilities of these two 
questions.  What would the world be like today if
    a)  the Roman Empire had been defeated early on? (religious implications)
    b)  the Stock Market had not crashed? (economical/political implications)
