Finally our T-1 data portion is up and operational! Just did some speed tests, seems pretty good. Got it plugged directly into my laptop….now I just need to get it patched into our gateway firewall, do some IP changes and should be good to go! Our voice T-1 becomes operational this Friday! Glad to see this process is finally complete!

Just found this little gem…it is a free recursive DNS service. My ISP’s (Charter) DNS servers were extremely slow in resolving names; after switching to OpenDNS I have noticed a huge increase in name resolution. It also incorporates a range of neat features: usage reporting, phishing protection and mistake correction (example: you type in yahoo.cmo, it will still go to yahoo.com). They even have a FREE Business product that I am considering trying out at church. It has numerous options, perhaps the best is the reporting that can be done. If you are tired of your ISP’s DNS servers you might want to give OpenDNS a glance.
Perhaps my title is a little early…we don’t officially have our T-1 yet…but AT&T did come out today and begin wiring and setting up our premise equipment. They did discover we have a fault in our wiring between the street box and our building, but everything is still on track. I was in meetings all day but did manage a couple pictures of our new addition to the telephone room. Our T-1 is suppost to be active before the February 23rd completion date…phones won’t be switched over until the last week. And I did just get our new statc IP list from TDS, very exciting! Will keep you posted.
