Ah, that makes a lot more sense.  I hadn't realized he was in the
ceiling near the ethernet cable.  Of course, since we're using
a weird form of VoE (voice over ethernet, since we didn't by
the voice over IP module), it probably messed up the ethernet
transmissions.

And, yes, I agree about the other stuff.

Sure.  Just make sure you don't miss out on something worthwhile
while being careful.
