I've called the ISP and they are looking into the problem and may do intrusive testing on the line at some point this afternoon/evening. For the most part, things seem to be working right now, but the line will drop out every once in a while for 2 to 3 minutes. This problem will effect connections to the Matronics Web server as well as distribution of List mail. I will post a follow up when the problem has been resolved... Hopefully later today.

I then went through a lot of trouble to buck solid rivets on the bottom side of the spar, holding everything open with clamps and such. Now, the top side of the spar slides past the skin holes, and if I pull it into alignment I get a lengthwise bubble on the bottom skin and a corresponding dimple on top. It makes a .1" gap on either side of a ruler placed forward-aft. The trailing edge bend still looks good and symmetrical. I guess the spar doesn't keep the correct angle on the skin unless clecoed top and bottom. Seems like if I had just used pop rivets on the bottom, the spar would have stayed in the right orientation and there would have been no problem. So much for trying to do the right thing... :) Anyone successfully used solid rivets on the bottom? Any hints for my next attempt? Paul
