It ended up being one _additional_ day because of a non-obvious
defective cable -- but I figured that out at around 10 PM last night,
so we ended up with just about exactly 48 hours of downtime.  A couple
of debugging tips from the redoubtable Mike Durkin (owner of Raw
Bandwidth Communications) helped me find the glitch, and so we're back.

The new house (which is _my_ old house, 'cept I've been elsewhere for 40
years) is a bit cooler during summer months (more shade), is a bit
bigger, and is quite nice.  It's also, of course, full of boxes at the
moment.  

But never mind that!  Come join us on Saturday afternoon/evening and
help us celebrate moving into our new home.  (CABAL at 4pm, to midnight.)
