It's obviously time for us to talk again about v2.0 work and different 
services.

There is partial connectivity loss.  Every 2-4 hours (I didn't set up 
the ISDN modem pool, the guy who did failed to document and then left, 
and the new guy and I haven't figured out the damage yet) I get dumped 
and have to reacquire a DHCP lease with a new address.

In rev's past, it'd time out on xastir and if it was configured to 
reconnect on network failure, it'd do so, gracefully.  Now, it appears 
that it "reconnects" and then no more data is exchanged.  Usually takes 
an uptime of 24+ hours.

I can fix it with a cron restart every midnight if you'd like!
