I started using some mock data (since I don't have dialup to test with). I
think I figured this out.

function getQuerySuffix() {
var qs;
if (dialup === 'true')

....should be...

function getQuerySuffix() {
var qs;
if (dialup === true)

This makes it through the function by grabbing the correct fallback lookup.

Triple Equals works... At some point I tried Double Equals instead (stil
works). Should I stick with Triple? I read up on the difference, but not sure
if one might be better than the other in this particular case.

Thank you so much for the help (DM and EC)! More Debug was certainly the
difference this time.
