DSL Hell

If you're a regular listener, you've probably noticed several outages in the station stream over the last few days. Apparently, my DSL line has been taking some time off for summer vacation. While I try to maintain a professional image for the station, I am really just a guy working out of his bedroom and making this all up as I go. Thus, I am at the mercy of my residential DSL line that serves the station computer.

I have a cable modem connection for non-station surfing, so I made some adjustments yesterday that should allow the station computer to switch from the DSL to the cable connection if the DSL goes out. The process can take a couple of minutes, but that's better than being down for several hours. I'll keep testing and try to reduce the delay.

The only good thing about these outages is how great it makes me feel when I see everyone coming back to give me another chance.

Thanks,

Zack
