[Dxspider-support] Changes to N7XY spider node

I have switched the N7XY node (n7xy.net, port 7300) from a PC to a  
Sheevaplug Dev Kit <http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-22- 
sheevaplug-dev-kit.aspx>.  This runs Ubuntu 9.04 on a ARM processor  
in the form factor of a large wall-wart [110mm (L) x 69.5mm (W) x  
48.5 mm (H)] and draws only 19 watts.  Since the plug only has 512 MB  
of onboard flash, I am using a USB hard drive to provide enough space  
for DX Spider (the debug and data files keep growing!).  It's only an  
internet connection for now, but I will be working on getting it  
running on packet as well.

Bob, N7XY
