I think this might turn out to be a big problem for the Seti bods.  I am not
sure they would have anticipated losing returned results of the order of 1
in 3 (my failure rate) and 3 in 4 (ie having to process between  1 1/3 and 2
times the number of work units actually created).

My current solution to this problem has been to connect, via normal internet
connection, to the Setathome page and to query my personnel stats.  If this
works (ie the seti server is available) then I use the screensaver "connect
now" feature and return data.  So far this has been 100% succesful (ie 2 of
2).
