Broadband:
    Basically, you have no other broadband options in this area short of a
T1 or fractional if you choose not to use business cable from adelphia or
DSL from Verizon (and it's probably not a good idea to do ANYTHING with
Verizon).  You can use cable from adelphia, for business access, but it'll
cost around $200/month.
 
Virus Protection:
    No real need for it on a linux server, as long as it's updated regularly
with appropriate patches.  Make sure your ipchains (or iptables or iprules)
rules are simple and as locked as possible.  It will save you lots of
headaches.  There are virus scanners for linux mail servers that scan for
windows viruses though, you may wish to look into that (if it applies to
you).
 
Server for Sale:
    Always interested.

Broadband:
 
What other alternatives to DSL and/or cable are there in Buffalo?  If one
wanted to start running a server (which I had for a bit until Covad, Rythms,
and a few otheres went out of buisness) what can they do?  Partial T1's are
still a bit pricey and I have not heard of any server farms in the area?
Darrin -- How are you running your server (what speed line?).
 
Virus Protection:
 
With all the viri issues lately (about 4 - 5 new viri in the last couple
weeks), how can linux users protect themselves and their servers?  I have
searched much on this problem and there really seems not to be an progs to
do this (at least readily available).  Does one even need to run virus
protection in linux if they maintain the latest patches?
 
Server for sale:
 
Im not trying to profit off of this (with depreciation there is no way ill
even see a penny), but, if anyone is interested I am selling my "server".
It is loaded -- Dual PIII 550 Xeons, 512MB ECCC RAM, 2 LVD 9GB (10k
Seagate), 2 LVD 18GB (10k IBM), HUGE case all passive cooling, redundant
power supplies, 15 cooling fans, RAID Port (ARO1130U2 w/64MB RAM), all HD
Drives are in removable drive bays.  Thats all I can think of.  I have all
original receipts and I do have dig pics if anyone is interested.  Reason
for selling: All DSL companies have pulled out of my area and I am stuck
with Adelphia cable.  A T1 cannot be installed where I live because it is
"Residential".  The money from this comp goes towards a laptop for myself :)
-- Please pass the word.
