  Not sure if this was directed at me, but we don't get a break for
our second line.   But, we were to the point where we were going to need
10 MB of Internet, so we went 5 and 5.   I believe we are paying about
$900 or month or so before ERate on our Frontier Ethernet Connection,
and whatever the ICN and AEA costs are for our ICN Ethernet Connection. 
 We are paying more than if we just had a 10 MB ICN connection, but we
have never (watch me eat these words now) been without Internet since we
have had the Sonicwall 3060 and two Internet Connections.

We are running a Sonicwall 3060 with enhanced firmware, and have 
had a secondary Internet connection for 3 or 4 years now.   We
currently 
have a 5MB Ethernet connection from the ICN, as well as a 5MB Ethernet

connection from our local phone company.   Other than Lance's note
about  
have to restart the Sonicwall to get back to full operating strength on

both connections, it is awesome.   You never even know when one link
goes 
down, as the Sonicwall just routes everything out the other link.   We

will never go back to having one single connection. 
  
The only other thing to think about, in our configuration, and 
end user can really only burst into a 5MB connection, since they are 2

different connections, but depending on the situation, that works 
better. 
  
We originally were doing this on our Fortigate, but at that time 
it would not allow for load balancing over the links.   Scott and I
have 
had those discussions, so I don't know if that problem has been 
rectified or not.   That was the reason we moved to a Sonicwall 3060. 
  
If anyone need any more information, ask away.   Otherwise, happy 
Easter everyone!!!

RE: [info-tech] VGA over CAT5

2009-04-10 Thread Buenz, Tim

Here is what we do from a previous post:

You may also want to look here for VGA over CAT5 solutions: 
http://www.markertek.com
---
Some of you requested information on the Digital Display system we are using 
for the Hall of Champions (JS state champs/all staters, etc.). 37" flat panel 
displaying picture and honors of each qualifying athlete. I saw this concept at 
ITEC in the Viewsonic booth and bought the pieces to create the system 
separately. The same system could be used for daily announcements, etc.

This is the software: DisplayIt
http://www.bestwave.com/software.html

Flashpoint: Allows you to create a flash movie from a powerpoint presentation 
and DisplayIt will play (also schedules multiple shows) this flash movie on the 
flat panel.
http://www.flashdemo.net/

We bought it here:  http://www.provantage.com/viewsonic-sw-007~7VIEJ00H.htm

Viewsonic NMP-530 Digital Media Player- ordered from Viewsonic rep. on 
evaluation and bought the eval. unit at a better price.
Could also get it here: http://www.provantage.com/viewsonic-nmp-530~7VIEJ00E.htm

I know we have discussed this before, but I ignored the conversation because I 
didn't need it at the time. Anyway, what we are looking at doing is mounting 
LCD screens throughout a building to show announcements and such. We want it to 
run from a central computer. I have found some VGA over CAT5 equipment that
