Computer update

[mdlbear]

A power glitch sometime yesterday interacted with some configuration changes I'd made on the gateway, and we ended up with no net access for a while. I only discovered it this morning (see next post), and it took me several hours to diagnose. Luckily flower_cat and the YD were asleep, and chaoswolf was off at Silicon helping to run gofers, so nobody else noticed.

I'm still trying to decide how to manage system upgrades -- the Windows 98 boxen have gotten distinctly creaky.
