Two more days since then but no outages since then so nothing to further brag

It could happen.  I found a 250W DC/DC ATX 12V input power supply but they want
quite a bit for it.  I am seriously thinking it could be used on the Dell
server now that it has been MinimaLinuxed and might talk Paul into swapping
with me for the pure 64-bit MinimaLinuxed AM2 for now.  Both are communicated
nicely over the wireless so it wouldn't take much to reverse their rolls here. 
I also added a wireless card to my workstation (Pentium D em64t) to test things
on that particular network but it uses a slightly different chipset that
requires stinkin' firmware.  It works but I am not happy about the firmware
part as I have yet to get firmware loading working with ttylinux.  I am using a
cvs version of rt61 module instead of the rt2500 which is what both the Dell
and the pure 64-bit MinimaLinuxed AM2 are using without the need for firmware. 
Stinkin' wireless crap!!!  :::sigh:::  Oh well it works and am not allowing
those interfaces to configure anything important but instead using iptables to
control those interfaces.  So far that seems to work best all things
considered.  Beats me how Windows users take care of security over such an
insecure interface.  The wireless routers are even more flakey from what I've
seen thus far.

The above refers to the last hobby Fido node left in Fido.  I am positive I am
indeed the last one given I have yet to see any other node that can and is
willing to further the so-called hobby.  Anyone who could challenge my claim is
long gone and I'd argue has been gone for at least a decade now although there
were some sysops that did make the claim in this particular echo during that
time.  I don't see them around anymore so I believe I am indeed the last one
standing.

Life is good,
Maurice
