   For all those interested in my traumas:   
      
   1) My ISP has admitted they had blocked my IP address. No explanation.   
   2) It still didn't work. After giving them direct access to my machine   
   and watched the mouse cursor darting this way and that, I was told   
   there was something wrong with the password, which I had given them.   
      
   This is the same password that all four email accounts had been using   
   for years. Anyway it seemed to work.   
      
   3) Change the passwords on the computer and my phone. Very   
   time-consuming.   
      
   But I had comms!   
      
   Next, back to the hardware problem. Another thread.
