Check out Counter-Strike.com. They are a very solid GSP. Good pings, no lag, great customer support. Check them out.

What ist the performance like for TrueCrypt? Do you have any read/write benchies of native RAID performance vs TrueCrypt performance? Might be cool to try out and post back here for everyone at [H]. Either way I'm curious as to what your read/write speeds are using TrueCrypt. Ryan

All you need to do is add the other IP address to the FastEthernet port as a "secondary" address. try this: config terminal int FastEthernet0/0 ip address 987.654.321.1 255.255.255.0 secondary exit exit write mem //saves the config, yo might want to check it first Then if you do...

I would recommend using Asterisk (which is what TrixBox is using as well, like MorfiusX mentioned). The great part is that you can customize it to do whatever you want. If you want an inbound IVR for customers then that is easy, you can change/update it whenever you want. You can also route...

I picked up Prison Tycoon as a blind buy. It SUCKS!! The interface was horrible, there were almost no directions as to how you play, it was VERY slow at the beginning to get prisoners in your jail and once they were there it seems like it was impossible to actually turn a profit. I would avoid...

Yes, but the idea of implementing physics through portals is a good twist. And of course the idea of dynamically creating portals during gameplay instead of stationary fixed position portals. I don't know why, but portals remind me of some of the puzzels in the Zelda games. if this idea takes...

Sounds like a capacity problem with that CO. If ou say it gets bad around 5pm that is generally when people are getting home and hitting the Internet for downloading, games, etc. The techs obviously have checked your line out and it is ok, have they been on the line when the problem started? I...

If you are any good with Linux scripting you could easily create a script using the "expect" command to login to the routers. run the commands and disconnect. Then just make it run that sequence for a list of IP's. I've done this when I was admining multiple machines, not routers, but it is the...

Can you explain the "high load networking" test in more detail? I've never heard of a high load test with only 10000 packets.

The initial cost is greater because you are buying a high end, generally redundant, machine. However in the long run it cost less to maintain and run. It really ismore about power savings than anything else. If you had 20 small cheap servers each with a power supplies that are about 60-70%...

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've never had a big problem with Asterisk locking up (it happened once or twice when I first started using it, but not since I got it running correctly), but there are people on the Asterisk-Users list that say it happens in their environment. I would love to start...

Yes, a P3 1Ghz will work just fine as a file server. However, I would strongly recommend NOT using RAID 0. If you lose 1 disk you lose ALL of the ~1TB of information you could have. I would suggest RAID 1 if you can't afford anymore disks, or if you can afford 1 more then a Linux Software RAID 5...

XOR != OR, I'd like to here more about the setup for the call center. Were they custom made servers or branded(Dell/HP/etc) ones? How many POTS lines per server did you install? In terms of Linux HA did you write your own custom script to check not only if a machine is down but if that...

You can use multiple RAID cards from differnet vendors. But since you are using different cards you are left with 2 choices in terms of the array(s) you can create. 1) Use software RAID in the OS: This would allow you to create a single large volume since all the disks are in a JBOD...

I like it. Is there any chance that you'll release it as an open source template?
