[sac-board] Web Server back up (and hopefully for a long while)

All,

The web server (saguaroastro.org, eastvalleyastronomy.org, ngcic.org, etc) is 
back up and on-line.  Qworst started having "code red worm" virus attacks on 
their Cisco Model 67x DSL routers starting last Thursday. (This is the virus 
that recently took down whitehouse.gov).  Since that's the make/model of the 
DSL modem/router for the web server, I've downloaded new router firmware from 
Cisco, and uploaded it to the router and re-burned the flash ROM.  I've also 
reconfigured the router based upon suggestions from Cisco relative to thwarting 
the "code red virus", and making the router immune to its attack.  Withe the 
new firmware and new configuration, Cisco swears we should be impervious to 
attack - I'll wait and see, but is looking good for the moment.

Thanks to all for their patience - I.A.S. (It's Always Something) :-)

/Bob
