okay, I saw that point later on when reading.

The computer you see my son operating is actually an Android tablet; maybe
can run node.js.  Maybe not, I will try. It has a debian chroot, 4 CPUs and
1GB ram...

One thing I realized while looking at my data is that I seem to have lost
connectivity to the 3800 that was right there in the wagon.  That shouldn't
be unless when babeld lost connectivity it caused RAs to stop or something.
I guess a tcpdump while roaming is in order.

I'll setup the babelweb for the nodes at my house using either an ssh port
forward, or perhaps just TCP with ACL; but presumably that won't tell me more
than "node43 no longer reachable"
