It appears that the problem was with Comcast, my ISP - at least, the
problems have stopped and things appear to be back to normal. They wiped
out a few dozen list messages in the process (my kjmlists@ address is
for list subs only) and started over.

But I find it bizarre that the problems that I encountered on my desktop
were not encountered on my laptop. The laptop setup is a clone of the
desktop in terms of settings, etc. The only difference is that the
desktop is Evo 2.0.1 and the laptop is Evo 2.2.1.1. If it was the ISP's
fault, shouldn't it have affected both the same way? Oh, well ....

Thanks for your help. Kelly
