Well, apparenly I’m blind. When I did an install today to upgrade one of our clients to ISDN I missed the blindingly obvious (apparently). I looked under the desk where the server was and saw the “tel”,
“mod1”, and “mod2” jacks. In my search for the ISDN jack I apparently missed the jack labeld “ISDN”. Duh. So thanks to that I get to go back tomorrow morning, bright and early (I resisted agreeing to meet the guy there at 7:30, and figured an 8:30-9 meeting would “better suit my schedule” (ie: I need more than 2 hours sleep)). Anyway, I think it’s just a different dial up number for ISDN customers (hmmm… maybe not, stupid lame ass website).
I did get around to reconfigging my work environment though. Still no mod_perl, but I do have a little button that gives me a root prompt now… I tested and got ready the SCSI drives that raskal kindly donated to me. Just installed the module and boom. 4 more gigs. Course it’s going to the ufies.org server as a /home and a /var/ftp, but that’s beside the point. The controller is supported just dandily
under the 2.0.x kernels so that should be no problem. And Fred’s 64 mb of memory should help keep things at bay for a bit too. I’ll be taking the server down for a bit on thursday (Tom has graciously agreed to stay a little longer at work so I can come in after my work to do the upgrade).
Oh, and since poor Iambe was called upon to work late late late (still there I think) by Da Man I was called upon to write a column. Head over here [archive.org link] to check it out. Or the archives if it’s after tomorrow (well, technically today).
