Thank you Mr. Kingsly, Your suggestion [ ethernet] is highly appreciated.
I have suggested the same with the top management a couple of weeks before and I was astonished to see them taking decisions in a spur of a moment. Infact the reason for our adoption of cable as an option is a decision taken by the management and I am supposed to give a report on the pros & cons of such a set up. Ours is a non-tech company located in the Tamilnadu - Kerala border, somewhat isolated and the accommodation , I mean the apartments, are distributed in nearly 200 acres of land. There are a couple of other companies nearby as well. We also look into the possibility of providing the same service to their employees as well for a monthly rent. We'll probably be applying for a E1 line from VSNL and I hope [as per your suggestion] we'll be okay with a linux router for the time being. Will you please give me a clue with regards to how should go about giving a total linux solution to the project + the type & cost of the cable + cable modem.? If we take E1 [2mbps] line from vsnl and which in turn distributed to 50 users to begin with, what will be the bandwidth at each of the end point? Will there be packet loss? I remember your comments on 64kbps line posted to this list. Thank you Geetha | | Why use cable and invest on cable modems and stuff ?? when you can run it | on ethernet directly.
