Re: [Scottish] Rack server cabinet going spare...
Hi Roland, Is this a full width rack and do you happen to know who it is manufactured by? We would be very interested and can pick up.

Its missing the left side and back panels and you can't lock it any more but the front glass does close. There's working fans at the top and three shelves to put non-rackable equipment on. Free if you can pick it up from the West End of Glasgow. You'll need at least two people to carry it out mind you!

There a few decent people that know what they are talking about but mostly they are a load of rubbish. unsuitable jobs wrong skills ect ect ect This is just my opinion tho if anyone does know a decent agency I would be very interested.

Re: [Scottish] Which ISP - It's that time again
If you cant get LLU, I would recommend someone like web tapestry (which was recommended to me by SLUG before) They use enta's network but seem to take a L2TP feed which isn't affected by the bandwidth issues at enta of late. I would recommend UKonline who I am actually with these days, but they don't seem to be taking on new customers. if you have SKY TV then SKY BB might be worth a look as it uses the easynet network.

I usually recommend Be (bethere.co.uk) if you can get their service at your exchange. They're excellent for gaming (and will enable a special gaming 'profile' on your line on request), and very reasonably priced with no throttling or bandwidth limits. My only minor quibble is that their call centre is in Bulgaria and everyone there sounds like Dracula. :-) You can also get Be lines through AAISP (Andrews and Arnold) now, if you want clueful UK support on either a BT or Be line. +1 for AAISP, generally an awesome and clueful bunch. Be generally have a good rep but as always things seem to be slipping. Putting a good company like AAISP in the middle should shield you from those issues. I also highly recommend if internet at home is important to you to have back of some sort, *all* providers have downtime :) ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
