Greg,

That's great news - at least as a start. Slow response could be several things
- but since you're going thru the list, I'll leave you to it. Congrats on
spotting the IPV6 bit. And congrats on concentrating on one fix at a time,
that's the best way to learn what actually works.

I'll look forward to learning what else you find. Patience and persistence are
the key here.
