Yes, but I meant on a _wired_ network. No wireless here, and none
likely if I have any say. We turn the PCs off every night, at
home and at the paper. But the paper now has wired broadband, and
we want to leave the router/modem on, since it does take a
l-o-ong time to initialize (given us by Verizon, and it looks as
cheap as all-get-out: shoddy plastic).
