Network

Noooo! My router died! The one I got for free a few years ago! Well, it needed a hard reset, anyway. It does seem to be working again now.

Although it would be nice to replace it. This one doesn't do loopback like the Linksys (pre-Cisco) does but the Linksys doesn't have 100Mbps up, like this one. That will count for something when I upgrade my Mandrake from the local mirror, which will happen soon. But there's one thing that neither does: wireless. Wouldn't that be nice?

I should try to remember to get a ATA133 card to replace the Promise card, too. Last time it had a problem, it made a non-repairable error on my ext2 drive. That's really a bit much even if the data is still readable.
