Go Tell
Thursday, July 5, 2007 was a momentous day on the mountain. Yup, it was the day the telephone company hooked up the optical-fiber cable they ran to the house last year and turned on the DSL service. Now, let me tell you folks, that thing's faster than greased lightening!
The box on the side of the house that's connected to the cable includes not only the digital-to-analog converter for the telephone but also the router for DSL and television and any two other broadband applications the phone company just might offer down the road. The thing even has a UPS in the basement to keep it going when the power is out.
I hooked up the Ethernet cable running from the router in the box outside to the PC that functions as the weather station server and a wireless access point through a network switch and got the whole thing working all by myself without calling my son-in-law, Ed, even once.
Go tell!
