The network now has its own rack.

This consists of the Krone patch panel, the 10mb hub, the 10mb switch, the 
AGS+, hydra, a decserver with a breakout cable and munt which should be
relocated to the rack with the suns.

The decserver is not booting at the moment: ethernet is connected via a
tranceiver to the machine room 100mbit switch (eth2 on hydra).  Not even
sending a request.  Once this is up we can use it as a console for the
AGS+, hydra and anything else that we may put in there

In the machine room rack is mooneye, mussel and mermaid.  An attempt was
made to upgrade mooneye to a Celery 300 using the other console box mobo
and CPU.  That failed and James thankfully put mooneye back together.

Maset the Grandiose.

Without suffering,
how can one appreciate happiness?
And how would we mark the depths of our sorrow,
without the light of hope?
