   Great to hear from you Zach!  I've been wondering.

   Just fine at this end.

   Wow, that's serious!  Do you keep it on 24/7?

   I think Hughsnet has too much latency for VOIP, but I just fired AT&T   
   after being a regular customer for over a half-century. It felt good!   
   Now we use cable Internet and OOMA VOIP.  The change cut our   
   communications bill in half.  I kept my old phone number, but left 90%   
   of the crappy spam sales calls behind.  OOMA filters them out!  Silence   
   is golden.

   Those types are still around.  One in particular.
