Are you willing to spend the money required to have it evaluated?
Evaluation is not a inexpensive matter (500k - 1m is around the number, I
believe).

It probably conforms to a good deal of c2 at present. It will not conform
to B1 or above without a _lot_ of modifications.

The network thing is really irrelevant. Unless you run the exact same
hardware configuration, your machine would not be c2 (or whatever)
anyways.
