Our node was initially on Integrity Spirit's DSL.  But eventually
Integrity dropped theirs and I was (without actually knowing it) asked
me to plug into the Green Dragon DSL a few months ago.  Integrity
Spirits dudes aren't there all the time, which led (I think) to some
communication problems between them and Green Dragon dudes.  Both DSL
services came into the Integrity Spirits office space.

Remember, the power outlet we plugged the secondary 802.11n router
into was controlled by a switch behind the bar.  If they are in the
same outlet, then powercycling is easy. ;-)

As I said before, the wifidog splash page has been off for three
weeks, two weeks prior to us getting unplugged.  The splash had
nothing to do with it.
