It's located in a co-location facility in another state, several hours of flying away. It's about a 2 hour drive for the client to the facility as he loves in the boonies. (so opening it up is a big process and they'd like to upgrade it at the same time) Thanks for the info, might be worth having the client have the co-location staff open it up at some point. -Robby -- /****************************************************** * Robby Russell, Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON, Open Source Solutions & Web Hosting * Portland, Oregon | p: 503.351.4730 | f: 815.642.4068 * www.planetargon.com | www.robbyonrails.com *******************************************************/ _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug
