I've had a couple small businesses come to me lately that would like me to support their shops... This would be side jobs/off hours. Sam From: Andrew S.

Exchange 2010 3. 6 total windows servers from file to sql etc 4. 6 Redhat machines in various roles 5. a few procurves 6. A bsd vpn/firewall 7. Some other misc network equipment like printers/card scanners etc... I know it depends on the specifics but I need just what range some folks might expect that to be in. I am stepping out of that duty and the owner (lots of history here) is asking me for some info.
