Below is about thirty seconds of data recorded at the RJ45 connector on
my Wildblue receiver/modem. The computer I'm using to test with is a
new F8 installation [192.168.1.10] and I don't know that it does
anything F7 didn't do but I see continuous activity, apparently the
result of DNS activity, since it is to the Wildblue DNS server on port
53. Is that normal? 60 bytes doesn't amount to much of a days usage
but still it is consuming bw.

It's normal if you have some reason to be looking up names. Try running
tcpdump or wireshark so you can see more about the request. It seems
odd that you don't see any responses coming back. Does the modem deal
with the private address/NAT for you?
