(home depot stock is fine) one pivots from the canopy cross brace just behind the front seat upright and the other attaches to the base of the roll over tube just above the left canopy rail with a large adel clamp. Works fine, once adjusted just so. >>> BrownScottA@aol.com 03/31/03 11:59AM >>> --> RV4-List message posted by: BrownScottA@aol.com Listers, What is everyone using for the plunger that holds the RV4 canopy open. Currently I have just a cable (don't like it) I want something that will hold the canopy open even if there is a little wind that may blow the canopy closed. Any suggestions out there please.

You'll recall that I was looking into upgrading the existing SDSL connection from 768k to 1.1M. As it turned out, the copper line wouldn't support any speeds greater than the current 768k. In light of that news, I just bit-the-bullet and ordered a full, commercial-grade T1 connection. The T1 connection will provide a full-duplex, high priority, 1.5Mb Internet connection which should be a substantial performance enhancement for all of the List services! Pacbell delivered the T1 Loop last week and it tested out fine. This past weekend I pulled the tail circuit from the demark to the office. This afternoon, Tuesday 4/1/03, the ISP is suppose come and install the new router and bring up routing on a test subnet. Assuming that everything checks out okay with the T1, new router, and routing, I will have them swing the main Matronics subnet off the SDSL and onto the T1. In theory, the swing could be nearly transparent to users, but that's usually not the case... ;-) Please expect a bit of instability in connectivity this afternoon as we work though the transition issues. I will post a follow up message when everything is up and running on the new T1 line. Finally, please know that it is solely your Contributions that make these kinds of List upgrades happen! There is no advertising budget (aka, flashing banner ads and annoying pop up browser windows) to pay these bills; operational support is solely from List members like you during the yearly List Fund Raiser. If you would like to make your Contribution to support the Lists and upgrades like this T1 connectivity enhancement, please see the List Contribution Web Site where you can make your Contribution with a Credit Card, PayPal, or Personal Check. You can even get a free List Archive CDROM with a qualifying List Contribution!

Unless this is your idea of an "April Fool's" Joke... This will be another (of many) fine improvement that you have self-initiated for all of us listers.
