hmmm ... an ISP I consulted at tried deployment of a non FCC type certified 802.11 solution a few years ago, but I was uneasy with their casual attitude, and certainly did not understand the business model. Goodness, that was late 2000. They are gone now. Another I worked with used the Motorola kit which is duly licensed, but it seemed too fragile around lightning and again, they are now gone. > I could use some help shaping my line though... I assume you mean the non-connectivity part. That is the anchor which makes the case for using a local, rather than a national 'rackshack' > Enrique > > PS: My ISP runs exclusively in Linux. Mostly LFS. As the customer is always right, we offer whatever the customer wants on the colo side of the shop; the Windows boxes are in migration into virtual instances, so we can move them between datacenters, after a local week long power outage exposed problems in one 'data hotel's backup power implementation. For hysterical, historical reasons, billing is in Optigold (OS/X), but we batch post process invoice images, etc into well-named PDFs, and then out to the site, and back onto Linux hardware. An ancient Sun running SunOS 2.4 <?> was still doing DNS and the cutomer provisioning code (written back in 1994 <?>) in perl 4 until a re-write earlier this year. Linux everywhere else (CentOS actually) of course. -- Russ herrold --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
