Hi All,

I had the experience two days ago at a customer site
where the Internet carrier, in their ultimate wisdom,
had provisioned two customers with the same fixed
IP address.  They admitted to the problem but would
not fix it.  Needless to say, my customer gets a
new Internet provider come next week.

So the Internet connection got broken every five second
or so until the other party on the provision went
home.  Then everything was solid.

Anyway, I put both Firefox (Gecko) and Brave Browser
(Blink) on the customer's machine.  Both browser
had heart failure over the problem.  Brave would
almost not work.  But Firefox would mostly tolerate
the problem, although with a lot of complaining.
And I could not download poop with either of them.
