Agree with this method 100%. Rarely can you hop in a fix something with little info. Spending time to learn about the customer and not just their current needs goes a long way toward creating a good business relationship. Both parties end up happier. On Nov 12, 2017 10:53 PM, "Justin Wilson"

Are you more amazed about DVD's (vs Blu Ray) or amazed that physical media is still a thing? There are some tv shows which a Blu Ray transfer isn't likely to happen anytime soon since the program was recorded using SD TV cameras instead of film. For those, DVD is just as good as Blu-Ray. On

Re: [AFMUG] rasberry pi packetsniffer

IMHO if you want a 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port that you can actually rely on for production use you don't hang it off a USB2 bus... First, latency/jitter issues with timestamping and logging (as compared to something on a PCI-Express x8 2.0/3.0 bus), which can be crucial when diagnosing voip/SIP

The Pi will probably work fine if the traffic is light. Dumb question though for Steve: Is the VoIP system the only machine in the room? Why not mirror the port to a secondary ethernet port on one of the other servers nearby? Eric may seem like kind of a killjoy today, but he's right that

Good info. I agree with the network assessment time, etc. We had spoken with IPA about doing this, and didn’t pull the trigger because we had bigger fish to fry at the time. So, I re-asked the question. I hear specific to IPA that they really don’t have a high satisfaction record among this
