[Icom] Duplicate relections

I've got a sneaky feeling that this intermittent problem lies with my ISP.=
=20
I have cable modem and AT&T just sold out to ComCast & maybe something=20
glitched on the way. As soon as wife gets off phone, I'll call them. How=20
much does anybody want to bet that they'll point and say "it must be=20
somewhere else because there's no way we could cause that to happen."=20
Thirty seven years in the computer business taught me that many outfits=20
operate on the premise that "We can't do anything wrong."

To the phones.
