Hey Naz;

I'm finally pumping all the bandwidth that I am paying for to
every device in the house. I may be upgrading the BBS software to A47
next week as well.

Sometimes that's not such a great idea and here's the logic behind my
alleged madness... and I may get some hate over this but:

If *all* devices try access all the bandwidth concurrently then something *must* give. Even if 2 devices are fighting for 100% of the bandwidth you're asking for some trouble - you just may not see it. You'll either be getting into some QoS rules so different services have priority to certain devices and/or other rate-shaping rules.

Ubiquity has also had it's share of what I call "Holes for Crackers" over the years. It's a shame bugtraq shut down after many years of servicing the tech community. I will say they're pretty quick to release patches once something
is discovered which is props to them.

I know for the host my board lives on, it could do just fine on a 156K IDSL line. I don't need to feed it the full 600Mbs that we're getting nor would
I want it to. If by chance it was broken into and a DoS attack launched,
I could still find it and the rest of the house would not be affected especially
my FireTV (Since Comcast boxes literally blow up on me annualy - probably from the RF they let in from my amateur radio gear). Having a 30 year domain and email address, I see *continuous* attempts to get in or relay spam.

Good luck with Henri - so misnamed! It's not a "frozen" hurricane, and it's
not playing hockey <G>
