There is no Graphical User Interface. Configuration
files have to be edited, but Notepad is no good. It's
a pretty nifty utility for yourself, that I can see.
I do not understand my obligation to bounce even one
Swen back to the originating ISP. I am a home user.
If it were necessary for telephone users to fix central
office configurations from time to time, fewer people
would use telephones. It is unreasonable to expect
someone dialing a telephone to be a telephone company
technician. Telephone companies do not expect this. You,
on the other hand, expect home computer users to be
diligent about repairing the internet. For what?
How does that come to be my obligation - what do I get?
