It seems like lately I'm just running around in circles, no sooner do I finally figure out what I need connection and router-wise then some joker comes along and throws a monkey wrench into the works. Last week, while in search of office space close to the CO, I wandered into a non-descript buiding only to find the holy grail, a company that is (1) not an ISP (2) has no interest in becoming an ISP but .... has multiple fiber links!! Read that BANDWIDTH to spare and then some. And they offered me the deal of a lifetime. Come in, set-up, have some bandwidth (we'll just run you some CAT5 cable ... pay for the bandwidth as you use it)(cheaper than I can get it ANYWHERE!! and no loop charges!!!!). And by the way, what you can do for us is deal with all these pesky people that found out we're here and provide them dial-up access. Just don't muck with our main business (video tele-conferencing). "Let's see now .. oh .. you'll need a nic and ummm a router, we'll wire your office for free ... how much space do you want?" After a tour of the NOC .. I signed ... Napoleon if your reading .. I'm sorry ... RABBIT ... RABBIT ... RABBIT !!!!! Oh gawd!! RABBIT!!!!!!!! So .. suggestions for a router please? I assume it has to be a dual ethernet affair since I'm not going to be needing a synchronous serial (for the moment anyway). Frankly, I was too dumbfounded to ask them. Then again, I probably couldn't afford what they might recommend. Thanks Noel P.S. RABBIT as in pulling one out of the hat. I knew you wanted to know. And forgive me ... I had to tell someone <GRIN>!!!!!!!!!! +-----------------------------+ +---------------------------------+ | N.B. Del More \ \ Sure! We'd be glad to host | | inr.NET \ \ your website!!
