Yeah ... I'm happy with 768K for now ... have a lot of experience at where the breaks are in the networking stacks since my company did the parallel port transport layer for Win9x and NT ... slow cables at 60kBytes/sec, fast cables at 500kBytes/sec ... we parallel guys talk bytes, not bits. Point is, once you get over 50-60 kBytes/sec you can use the redirector pretty well ... don't have to think about moving stuff, just use it in place. Thus, my partner across town and I share drives via a VPN ... he's got 1.5mbps DSL running to an NT5 server which routes onto the office LAN too. So the server drives look local to me. All this has been around for awhile ... now it's cheap and accessible ... and Windows 2000 makes it pretty darn easy to admin. Hey, you can use our parallel cables to share a fast internet connection ... DSL into one box ... bridge to another with a cheap parallel cable. Built right into Windows ...

from best to Qworst, ray? Nacchio cheese for brains? it's official: erstwhile highflying broadband fiber networker now stodgy dividend-paying utility. btw, is the big board still reserving the 'I' for Andy Grove? i wonder what the Quilionaires gotta say about this? ----- Qwest jumps from Nasdaq to NYSE By Melanie Austria Farmer Staff Writer, CNET News.com December 21, 1999, 4:45 a.m. PT Qwest Communications today said it is moving from the tech-heavy Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange beginning in January. The telecommunications company will trade under the ticker symbol "Q" on Jan. 3, 2000, the first session of trading for the year 2000, the company said in a statement. The Denver-based company, which has met or exceeded analysts' consensus earnings estimates for 10 straight quarters, said it is making its move to the NYSE partly because it will be associated with other large-cap, high-growth companies. It will also have wider access to and greater visibility with international investors and capital markets, Qwest said. Last quarter, the company posted a third-quarter profit fueled by strong data and Internet services revenues. For the quarter, Qwest said revenues rose 26 percent from $807.1 million in its year-ago period to $1.02 billion, marking the company's first billion-dollar quarter. On Jan. 3, Qwest chief executive Joseph Nacchio will ring the opening bell for trading at the NYSE, the company said.
