Hi

I just replaced the wireless router and broadband modem. No packet loss.

I used a Linksys Wireless-G  Model WRT54G Ver 2.2 (I think It is one 
that can be loaded w/Linux). It had been sitting around for a long time. 
I found another DLink Dl 705 broadband MODEM, just like the one I had 
for $4.99. Also picked up another USR external Faxmodem  for a spare $3. 
Not a bad day.

The DLink broadband modem was working, but gave up the ghost last night. 
Has done it before, but would operate again if left unplugged overnight, 
and reset. Wonder whats with that? Never seemed hot. Will keep it for a 
while to see if it works again.
