The LINK light on the DSL was on. There was nobody home.
My ISP happened to call me on a DNS question, and reported that their

What was dead? The Bell Nexxia ATM network connecting us. I.e. my layer 2.
So, we aren't that far away.
Power-Over-Ethernet would be great... if I could get ethernet to my office.
