On Friday, 10 Aug, some time after 19:20 EDT (the last  time  that  I
can verify that the server received a request from outside). I really
haven't been using it for anything other than local testing,  only  a
very  few  friends  know  about the machine, and I didn't even notice
over the weekend.

I'm not sure what it has to do with mediaone.  We did drop M1's cable
TV, but I'd think that RCN would approve of that ...
