[sudo-discuss] Network Changes

[somebody at riseup.net]

Thanks for your input Jake.

With the intention to reduce as many points of failure as possible, and 
to make easy on us for when troubleshooting, I suggested the move of the 
DSL Modem to the Server area and also the re-doing its phone 
connections; specially those that were hanging.

After that cabling cleaning and Modem move we were getting speeds of 
25-30MB of download speed; as I recall.
Yes, I agree with you. We should have a notebook in the Server room. 
Someone else suggested before, but I forgot about it.

What is next in regards of this part of the wiring is the blue cable's 
path. It needs to be improved not only for aesthetics, but also for 
safety, performance, and the cable integrity itself. Right now, by the 
stairs, you may see that someone decided to put some metal parts on top 
of the cable itself. Oh well... :)


Thanks again,

Daniel
