Yeow! We are fully converted to the T1 from a 144Kbps IDSL circuit.
The network has been switched and DNS changes are in place. Everything should be flowing in the next 24-48 hours.
Its neat to have a full time UNIX system available at home. I'm running Linux 7.3 and will install FreeBSD today because I think its more secure to run BIND and mail services. I'm looking at a combination of LDAP, Postfix and Courier for UNIX based mail and Exchange 2003 for Windows based mail and related services.
Notable issues:
Had to fix port speed for all servers for reliable connections. I do this with client systems, and gosh, I have to do it here as well. Duh.
Got a Compaq Netelligent 24 port, managed switch for <$60 on e-Bay. Such a deal
I'm using a Netgear hardware VPN/Switch for VPN access. Its pretty nice - under $150 and you can use it with several VPN clients.
