That sounds very plausible. Thanks for the suggestion, Vineet.

Heh heh. While I can't remember the exact chronology (notes would have
been nice), there *was* a firmware upgrade of my
wireless/router/firewall (Dilink DI-713p) involved. Strangely enough,
the upgrade was "successful" but the version didn't change, which is
suspect. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the option on this box to fix
the MTU.
There might be one other angle, which I'm going to test tonight. I
tried these tests from my other Internet hosts and they *succeeded.*
I'm going to work with the provider of my Internet host (the CVS
client) tonight to see if it's a firewall issue on her side.
