FWIW, since March, Personal Telco is being hosted by Canvas Host in
the Pittock.  We have our own machine there.  We also have a machine
at Stephouse, in a different cage about 20 feet away.

We used to have a machine in an Integra co-lo, but they kicked us out
after about 10 years when they couldn't remember why they were being
nice to us.  They were being nice to us because one of their lead
technical guys thought we were cool, and keeping him happy was in
their interest or something.  Then he left.
