We can help too. We run our ISP on all BSD and have plenty of cabinet space multi-homed on OC-3/DS-3, and staff is all familiar with BSD. We can either co-locate or provide a box to spec. We are standardized on a dual PIII/1.2GHz configuration with up to 4GB of RAM and IDE RAID. IDE drives are standardized on a specific 80GB model so even though they have shorter life span than SCSI we keep plenty on the shelf to hot swap if they die. The Seagates seem to do quite well, which I cannot say for the IBM IDE drives. If we use the same box as I describe above, we have cold spares online and ready to go in the cabinet. - Mike On 9/30/02 10:57 AM, "Bill Norman" <normanb@surftx.net> wrote: > Bring the service my way.
