You'll need it for your DNS regardless. > and buy a Portmaster (2e30) for your modem pool Er, do you have a stack of 28.8 externals ready to go or just want to offer 30 dialup lines? If you're starting from scratch grab a PM3 with 3 10-modem 56K cards. You can plug a PRI into the PM3 and you're good to go for your analog and ISDN customers. PM2 gear is legacy and the only ComOS available for them is ancient, but if y ou already have the externals you might as well use them. For hubs, avoid Kingstons, they're very slow. I'm fond of Asante and Netgear units for smaller needs, and HPs for >=24 ports. > On 31-Oct-98 Glade L.
