[JMS] Fwd: RE: [QSL-Net] Network Problems

[Don Buska]

Hey again JMS gang.  If you ever wonder some of the costs for keeping such a great ham 
service going like QSL.NET check out below what Al pays just for his connection to the 
outside world.  Please consider this if you feel prompted to donate to him for 
providing us with a web home for the JMS.

We have 2 networks here:

64.238.2.0  is 4.5Mb and come to us via a 2.4 Ghz microwave link. The 
microwave Radio and antenna is about 40' off the ground  with just a 
network cable coming down for the connection to the switches and servers. 
This has been in operation for about 2 years and is really quite trouble 
free. This network has all 4 QSL.NET web servers, a DNS server and the 
mailman list server on it. It is using 3.0Mb of the 4.5Mb capacity.  This 
circuit costs $1150 a month.


63.238.179.0 is a 1.54Mb T1 on Fiber that we have had for 4 years, I has 
the QSL mail server, QSL.NET incoming FTP server,DX.QSL.NET 
server,WWW.SWL.NET, 3 DNS servers, some admin servers as well as my PC on 
it. This circuit costs $450 a month.

I also have a Starband dish for incoming FTP traffic but it seldom works at 
published specs so I just take what I can get from it.
