Zap!

Lightening will do that, you know. And we lost our new Cisco router during one particularly nasty storm tonight. But ...

I was able to get the case off of it, which I could never do with the Netgear boxes, and see exactly where it blew - it was in the ISDN circuit. Which led me to investigate the surge suppressor for the line. Which showed it to be a two wire job, while ISDN uses all four wires.

The problem will be solved tomorrow, even if I have to scratch build it myself.

And I'll have to buy another backup router, but, oh well - I really think I've finally got a handle on this.
