We regularly get cyber attacks directed against our service.  
These have only had some success: while DOS attacks have 
been successful in limiting our service bandwidth we have not 
been taken down.  This has more to do with FreeBSD than our
systems skills.

Because of this it appears that attacks directed against the infrastructure
between us and the net are becoming more common and effective.  
Most recently, our dsl modem was given some serious amnesia. 
Electrically, the thing checked out fine, just no memory no settings. 

Might have been lightning but there was none.
