I think you were being facetious about the bats, Rob, but seriously you'd be
surprised how prevalent (and useful) those little critters are. And you
don't have to go to Carlsbad Caverns to find 'em. They are, I think, more
common here (East) than out west simply because there's more bugs and fruit
to eat.

Anyway, even if it ain't the bats, could be something similar. That is, the
tech problems aren't always bits and bytes related.

My ISP (Ligtel - short for Ligonier Telephone Company) uses wireless
connections from their towers to an antenna on my house to provide me with
service. Lately the service at night seems to drop. This doesn't sit
well with the wife who likes to night owl into her on line college
courses. Still working with them to discover why. I call their service
and they come out (during the day of course) and leave a tag on my door.
"All fixed". Then that night it dies again. Latest update is that I am
supposed to keep a log of outages.

As far as I can tell we do not have a huge colony of bats which take wing
at that time.
