I'll be perfectly honest (since everyone is curious to know what I was
thinking :-) ) - I was hoping it was something stupid that someone had seen
before, given that most everyone around here is dealing with CenturyLink or
one of the usual cable providers...Possibly a random setting that I may
have overlooked or something that I could easily enable/disable, if only to
relieve some temporary pain until I got a replacement device.  My office is
on the other side of the house (where the switch sits) compared to where my
DSL router is (connected via 1Gbps in the walls) - it's been a big thorn in
my side the past 2 days.

I may try a DSL router from Monoprice, if only because the gear I've used
from them has been fairly reliable...That's the problem with consumer-grade
stuff like this - it's not incredibly easy to hookup a terminal cable like
a Cisco or Juniper device and dump logs and config information willy-nilly.
