Summer starts with snap, crackle, and pop.

Welcome to summer. We had our first storm recently… I lost two ethernet switch ports, a POTS port on my ISDN TA, and a NIC. Over the next two days, I lost two more switch ports. On the evening of Friday the 23rd, at least a week later, the ISDN TA is acting oddly. I can only get one channel to engage PPP-wise, and our POTS line won’t pick up when the PPP link is up. I’m going to pick up another of the same kind of TA to start with… most of the Linux ISDN support is Eurocentric (or just German?), and I’m not willing to devote a 24×7 machine to being a PBX/router at home yet. Oh well. Lots of hardware to replace this summer.
