Do you need to limit the bandwidth to a particular amount that might coincide with Ethernet speed? For example, could you force a network interface card or port on a switch to run at 100 mbps or 10 mbps, thereby limiting consumption to the speed of the interface? This isn't ideal, but another off

[nlug] [OFF TOPIC] Comcast ClearQAM is gone. What now?

I've received some letters from Comcast lately, explaining that they were no longer going to be broadcasting any analog channels over the wire and clients would need cable boxes (DTA's) to tune in channels. I (foolishly) believed that they were going to leave the digital ClearQAM channels alone an

[nlug] Recommended PBX or hosted voice solution for small office?

I've been asked to help someone out who runs a very small office (I think they only have 3 phones) with getting a new phone system. Ideally, I want to get them something that has fairly low cost and very low maintenance requirements, since there won't be anyone on staff to actually babysit this th

Re: [nlug] Running osTicket

Backups via VMware are fantastic, but VMware has limitations on their API, so backup software companies can't use those API's to backup the free version of ESXi. I use Veeam Backup and it is fantastic. Veeam even has a free version (which basically has all the features, except scheduling.) Unfor

Re: [nlug] Running osTicket

We replaced our security system last year, but we still have a bunch of the Geovision hardware encoder cards (and the entire security servers that they are installed in) sitting around and taking up space. These camera encoder cards are pretty expensive, so I hate to just throw them away. Is anyo
