RE: Senate votes to permit warrantless Net-wiretaps, Carn
I agree. There are problems with the current laws regarding wire-taping and electronic surveillance (ES). But those problems should be fixed instead of just removing all regulations in place that protect people. I heard today on the news that if the FBI (or whoever) is using ES against a foreigner and that guy connects to a US based pc. They have to immediately end the surveillance until the suspect disconnects from the US based PC.

RE: Exchange 2000
My opinions to your questions. 1. For now that should get you by. The best thing to do is set it all up and do some performance monitoring on it for a week or two. Get your average load and go from there. 2. Don't really understand what your saying here. However you don't have to use Outlook to connect to exchange. Any email client capable of using LDAP can connect an exchange server. 3. Same as #2 Hardware setup is crucial and must be well thought out before you put the system into production. I would listen to the advice another poster gave about using 2 raid arrays. I have the exact same setup ( system - Raid 1, data - Raid 5). Do you self a favor and buy an extra drive for the data array and set it up as a hot spare, drives are cheap. Also, how did you decide to upgrade to XP? Unless your a beta tester how did you evaluate the OS. Make sure you really understand XP and what advantages/disadvantages (regworm) come with it before making a finial decision.

We are currently running NT 4.0 Svr and Wkstn. I have setup a Windows 2000 Domain (still in testing phase). We have about 100 users. My Questions: 1. I have a PII with 2 300mhz processors and 384mb ram. Will this be ample enough to handle Exchange 2000 and future growth? How much Hard Drive space would you recomend? 2. We plan on Going from NT 4.0 to Windows XP. Can we connect to Exchange 2000 with the NT 4.0 Clients during the interim? Any issues I should be aware of? Any issues with WXP? 3. We have 50-60 users on Outlook 2002 with internet access etc., and 40-50 users on other clients (internal e-mail and intranet only). Does Exchange play well with other e-mail clients? 4. Any other Gottcha's, Do's, Don'ts? All advice will be greatly appreciated.

KVM Recommendations needed Need recommendations for KVM switch, 6 to 8 port, something that doesn't flounder looking for mice/keyboards, extensible(if possible) with CAT5 or over IP. Have up to $1000 US to spend on this, but am in emergency mode trying to find the best solution. Usually would look around a lot and test stuff, but have a wild hair happening over here. Any advice would be very very appreciated. Thanks!
