there are two domain names, for iit roorkee, iitr.ernet.in and iitr.ac.in, the first one is one an old leased line, of 5-6Mbps, has to be slow, the new one has download link of 34Mbps, and unlimited uplink... and infrastructure and manpower does exist... no doubts about that..no powercuts too.. Even setting up/maintaining it a repository wont be a concern, the only cause of worry is that a proper method of channel/approach to the head of my coll's info.superhighway.centre.. i'll be mailing to ilug chennai in this regard...
