Bill,

The noaaport feed from ALden should be the same because they are using an
SSEC system.  Remember, the machine is not lightning, it's nport.alden.com
I thought Alden added a couple of T1 connections to the main internet hub
so your connection was reasonable. Can you try it again?  Also, you are
the 3rd alternative site, so maybe you could be fed from SSEC. It's
already configured for snow.

No, don't mix FOS and NOAAport
