I often see this, even with a valid userid and password.

I have no Flash installed. In one of the many browser configurations I
have I do have FlashBlock installed.

I do notice many warning messages about theses pages.

Once I have failed to log in, I cannot just reload the page. I have to
delete all the cookies (and there are MANY) before I can successfully
load another login page.

I installed eCS 1.2 with a uniprocessor kernel. So in that sense I
have tested with only one CPU active. I get the same failures as with
both processors.

You have hit one something there. If I do a traceroute on
www22.verizon.com I get 7 hops quite quickly. Then for 8-30 I slowly
get the three asterisks. (I have even used -m 100 and still get three
asterisks for 8-100!)
What do the three asterisks mean? That a certain host/router is not
responding? What do consecutive lines of three asterisks mean? That
multiple host/routers are not responding? Or that one host/router is
not responding over and over again?

Thanks for your continued efforts to help!
