And a drop in my geek quotient. After nearly 20 months, someone finally noticed that the DSL line a previous employer had installed for me wasn't supposed to be up. (I suspect it came out in the bankruptcy proceedings, but I don't know for sure. I wasn't a contact for it, nor was I actually involved with the thing in any way) And so, we're now a single DSL household. Not a big deal, as I've been anticipating this for, well, 20 months and none of the house services hang off that line as anything other than a failover, but it does mean that I need to finally get around to installing IP masquerading on the linux server so the house clients can get out for things other than HTTP. (I'm at Starbucks right now so I can do some final sync ups with the work CVS repository)
This does mean that anyone trying to get to glastig is going to be out of luck until I can either arrange for an alternate way in (probably bouncing through tuatha) or I get a multi-IP pack from SNET. (I'm currently down to a single IP address)
On the up side, I now have two compatible SDSL boxes. I probably ought to see if some of our friends are in my local exchange and see what getting a dry pair would cost...
