Serveral of the tennents have expressed interest in getting access from us already. So we want to sell portions (fractionalize?) our T1 _within_ the office bldg. Outside the building a little later ;-) Initially, what's the *least* expensive way to go about this? We only have an initial budget of $10k. More if we can show a profit to the investors. Current equipment - an ET/5025 Router card (I think this card will do T1) in a x386-Linux box; a 56/64k Adtran CSU/DSU (with buy back option); FreeBSD P5/120mhz 32MB RAM, SCSI 2-1Gb HDD, 3Com-509 ethercard; and a x486-66 w/16mb RAM. Don't know if the building is wired to handle a T1. What equip. do i use to break up our T1 into resellable portions for potential clients ranging in need from 56kb - 128kb and above? Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks!!! -- Mark P. markp@kmtnet.com
