Today I finally graduated as a full fledged Network Administrator: I got to crawl through the opehead tiles and run a cable from the network closet to the office. I spent a wonderfull 2 hours getting dust in my hair, jacket, eyes, clothes etc. But on a more positive note, We finally have a business DSL line in the office. This allows me to access the internet using the DSL while the CNG internet only supports the tunnels to the NY office and csr sites.
The DSL is a lot more stable than the T1, I was getting a sustained download of 500 kbs and wasn’t getting kicked off every few mins from my home system due to dropped packets. We might upgrade it to a 1.5 mbps line and run VOIP lines in to the office… lets see how that works out.
Well this is all for now. Will post more later.
