Er...

In case anyone tried that link and found linuxmafia.com offline, the 
story is:  AT&T (which is _not_ my uplink) took my entire residence's 
ADSL service including my server offline somehow at the beginning of
business Tuesday.  Late Wednesday, they admitted the fault was at their
end (at the Menlo Park telco central office), rather than at the
customer end, but didn't fix anything.  Today (Thursday) just before 3pm
local, they said they moved my DSL handling to a 'different port'
(presumably on the DSLAM), and all service resumed.

Much thanks to my DSL provider, Raw Bandwidth Communications, whose
owner Mike Durkin birddogged AT&T until they fixed their problem.
Total downtime was aobut 2 days, 7 hours.

(Vive CLECs.  À bas les ILECs.)
