Zap!

Lightening will do that, you know. And we lost our new Cisco router during one particularly nasty storm tonight. But ...

I was able to get the case off of it, which I could never do with the Netgear boxes, and see exactly where it blew - it was in the ISDN circuit. Which led me to investigate the surge suppressor for the line. Which showed it to be a two wire job, while ISDN uses all four wires.

The problem will be solved tomorrow, even if I have to scratch build it myself.

And I'll have to buy another backup router, but, oh well - I really think I've finally got a handle on this.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
