I run lots of different stuff. For the most part my company is a MS shop at the user end. But some other things where they make sense, or where I can't get rid of what's there yet. Lots of NT4/2K, Some Linux, Some OSX Server, some [sigh] VMS on an aging Alpha.

I'm the IT Dir for a company of about 700. 25 locations in a nifty new VPN-based WAN. We're doing some really neat stuff on the WAN front. I'm loving it.

Picture this: two low-cost SDSL or broadband wireless connects to different providers in every location. Use Cisco HSRP to auto-failover between providers. Use IPSec tunnels to mesh tunnels fully between all offices.

Freekin' bulletproof, that. :-)

I know nothing about that stuff!

But I can see you have an exciting life!
