[sudo-discuss] Network Changes

[Jake]

thanks for doing all that work!

one thing:  the DSL modem would be better off as close to where the 
telephone line comes into the building as possible.  There is bandwidth 
loss with distance from the telco, especially in an electrically noisy 
environment like inside omni and next to ethernet cables.

conversely, there is no "loss" over ethernet (it either works or it 
doesn't, mostly) so it's better to put the DSL modem where it works best 
and run ethernet to it.

also, for documentation perhaps some written info on a notebook tied to 
the server rack?  i think it might be foolish to put everything on a wiki 
on the net :)
