Some more info...

Today there was an area wide power outage; so the system was down for a good hour or so. Once it comes back up I give it a shot and was actually able to connect.

While I was disapointed with the lack of administrative functionality; I was very happy to finally connect (at 2400 bps). After making some minor changes and saving to the system; I disconnect to take care of some things.

Trying to connect maybe 20 minutes later I find myself with the same connection issue of not getting prompted for a password; then getting booted after 13 seconds.

Any advice?

(thanks in advance)
