Argh. Argh. Recipe for a Monday. Ingredients: 1 USR/3Com/mHz/Whoever owns them this week PCMCIA 10bT + 33.6K combo. 1 Brain-dead "smart" hub. 1 small Cisco FT1 router. 1 FT1 CSU/DSU. Instructions: Combine all ingredients, mix well, and cook over one medium power-surge, two days prior to serving. When the 10bT card is spewing garbage, and the hub is attempting to syslog, make sure the router silently discards all syslog-bound packets. Allow the hub to overflow its internal buffers while waiting for a 60-minute timeout on outgoing syslog connections. Let stew in own juices for 36 hours. Enjoy! I repeat: Argh. -H
