John bites the bullet
I decided I might as well bite the bullet and upgrade my modem and router so today I ordered a Cradlepoint MBR1000 router and a USB760 modem from 3Gstore.com and had them shipped to FedEx in Las Cruces. I'll pick them up Tuesday or Wednesday and then we'll see if I can access my BroadbandAccess.
Let's hope so.

More Toward Realism than Fantasy
I've always been drawn more toward realism than fantasy, because it seems to me that realism is endlessly interesting and finally indeterminable. Realism is a species of fantasy that's much more integrated and hard-core than fantasy itself, but if you are ready to come to grips with the inevitable slipperiness of most available facts, you come to recognize that realism is not a direct approach to the truth so much as it is the most concentrated form of fantasy.
