God to hear Marianne is getting DSL that far out. I have a couple of ex-Intel buddies living in-between service areas in Washington County that will be interested to hear the results and maybe use them to take on their phone company.

I’ve subscribed to Marianne’s blog, but please keep us informed.

Josh, this is very cool of you. I just learned a new feature of my blog when your link popped up there. Someday I may really be a geek. . .;^}

For now, I’m sticking with the generator–one thing at a time. But I’m definitely router shopping with 12v in mind, and if the phone company can’t come up with something better than tha Netgear RangeMax (runs on 12 amps, totally doable on a battery pack) that’s what I’ll stick with.

Some folks from Intel came to visit us a couple of years ago as part of a project they were researching about living off the grid. It was a good visit, but the questions they ask were so naive that Ben finally said, “Look, I don’t think you’re getting it. I am the power company, the water company, the sewer provider, the road department, and frankly, the local law enforcement.” That about sums it up.
