[isf-wifidog] WeatherProof WIFI Dog Routers

[Don Druce]

Here is the box I used.

http://www.wlanparts.com/product/DCE-H-7X6X2/NEMA6_Weatherproof_Die_Cast_Aluminum_Enclosure_and_Hinged_Cover__DCEH7X6X2.html

I mounted a Motorola Router and used POE for power.  I did some small 
modification with a LED on the POE pair at the unit so I could always be 
sure that power was at least arriving at the box without being forced to 
go and open the cover.
