To Everyone, Thank you so much for your feedback, recommendtions and comments. It is greatly appreciated.
Please, if you can, keep this thread going. The more input that is submitted the more I have to give to management so they can 'chew' on it. If anyone wishes to 'chat' off this list, I would be glad to give more information on the infrastructure of this network. I think that this would help you in making a better informed comment or recommendation. Again, thank you.
