Karl:

Our large mainframe at NOAA here in Boulder is constantly probed
by criminals attempting to trash whatever they can. Many of the efforts
are from European/Scandinavian countries are there is no letup. Cable
is no different-criminals access the Net by all paths. You are likely running
into
the "firewall" on the USGS system. All this due to the brain-impaired scum who
seem
to think? it is fun to destroy files in another's computer. Good luck.

PS   My observations on solar panels were toward operating a seismic station,
not  an
entire typical home.  For that you would have to chuck the refridgerator for  a
version designed
to run without commercial grid AC. Same for AC/heat. Yes, a rather costly
setup. If there is no AC grid,
it will be very difficult to convince your local gas station to pump fuel by
any means other than through the
electrically-powered pumps. Nasty problem............
