Terry, I only have one suggestion. Security. Don't leave the most important
aspect to someone else. If something happens you can guarantee that the
response he will get from the other group who handles the firewall will be
"well, we never had any problems" (IE: It is not our problem). Get a
Watchguard Firebox II (http://www.cdw.com) and have them assign a range of
IP addresses for you to use.

Subject: Hardware Software suggestions
I have a client who is planning on putting up his own server for his website
and I would like some advice.
His site is a private site for affiliates to compile & share various
information on and will not be using ecommerce and will probably
never get over 50 users. His reasoning for having his own server in his
office is for security reasons as well as time saving in data transfer.
I am looking at:
OS:Windows 2000 Server Pro
HTTP Server: IIS as it comes with OS
Application Server: Cold Fusion 4.5 Pro
FTP Server: Serv-U
Remote Access: PCAnywhere
Mail Server: IMail
Database: Access 2000
Computer: Pentium III, 700+ mhz, 512meg ram, 30 gig hd, 10/100 nic card
He has access to a T1 from a company in the next office which will allow him
to plug into one of the ports in their hub and register him to one of the
ip's in their block. I believe he will be behind their firewall and they
will enable the necessary ports to allow his users access.
Any pros-cons or suggestions on whatever I might have missed would be
appreciated.
