Hi,
Do you know of any places I can get these kinds of statistics? I'm in the
stages of setting up a local ISP and my upstream ISP said that for the 16
dialups I will have, 64K is enough. From what you say it won't be near th=
an
enough. My upstream should be glad if I would go with a 128 instead of a =
64k
, then why did he suggest it?

We ran 15 modems on a 56k Frame relay for 6 months and had little or no
problems. Just don't do newsfeeds on the pipe or other bandwidth heavy
stuff and it should be fine. We have 45 modems (56k) on a 256k FR and have
very low usage still. At night it picks up but still we show less than 50%
utilization at the peak times.

Someone once mentionned on this list that using multiple file names
conflicted with the Active Server Page IIS add-on; have you installed ASP?

OK - I have finally reached the point....
How does everyone manage their IIS 4.0 servers? I have had recurring
problems where CGI and/or ASP scripts either eat up too much CPU, memory,
or leak memory. Sometimes I have to reboot the thing because my "physical
memory" is at like 100 KB, grinding to a halt using swap space, I assume.
How do large scale ISPs' manage this? Is there a way to limit how much
any one site can affect the server? Running in a separate memory space
does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance-

You probably have memory leaks; this should not be happening. Visit's
Microsoft WWW and FTP site
(ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/) to see if you wouldn't
be missing some "hotfix" or patch.

I have a question for those of you running IIS4 out there. I'm going to
have over 300 sites installed on my IIS4 server (dual PPro 220, Raid 5 (12G

We always use Low to high on the channel selection that way we can "see" a
high water mark for line usage. If I run a graph that shows lines as high
as 23 being used, I know that I had that PRI filled. With uniform, the
switch sends the next call to the least used line. May be the best way to
distribute the load to equipment, but hard to track total line usage.
(for me using Emerald anyway)
As for the d channel. I almost went with shared but was told that if the
line providing the d channel goes down, all the other lines sharing that d
channel go down too. Shortly after getting my 2 PRI's one went down and
all traffic was routed to the line that was up. In the process of fixing
the one line the telco brought the other line down. Customers were able
to get back on-line with whatever line was up since each had their own d.
Hopefully that won't happen often. Since in only have 2 PRI lines, I
would have only gained one line by sharing d channels.
YMMV

I may not be correct here, but you should have a single D channel for each
PRI because I don't think (could be wrong) Portmasters have the option they
are talking about.
You want either low to high or counterclockwise, but it actually does not
matter. You have to remember the telco speaks Voice and you want to speak
Data...they usually have no clue. Tell them to run it as default! *grin*

Subject: adding/replacing individual ODBC drivers
From: "Josh Hillman" <admin-maillist@talstar.com>
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 16:00:44 -0400
Is there a way to add a single ODBC driver for a specific db-type (FoxPro's
..dbf for example) if it's not already in the list of installed drivers in
ODBC32? Presently, there are only drivers for MS Access (3.51.102900), MS
ODBC for Oracle (2.73.728301), and SQL Server (3.50.0305).
The machine that this needs to be done on is NT 4.0 SP3 (Intel), IIS4,
MSSQL Server 6.5 SP4, Cold Fusion 3.1.1, ODBC 3.5
On another machine, I have a damaged Access ODBC driver. Can this driver
be reinstalled without reinstalling the whole ODBC set? This machine is
our primary SQL Server and RadiusNT machine, so I'd like to avoid screwing
up ODBC in any way. The two drivers on this machine are MS Access
(3.50.342800) and SQL Server (2.65.0252). This is also NT 4.0 SP3 (Intel)
Thanks for any info...

You have to buy add in modules to backup things like SQL. I believe they
also have an "Open File" manager plug in, but I may be confusing that with
another product. Check out Seagate's web page for the info.

Same thing with my backup of choice, Cheyenne Arcserve. Really, its 6 of
1, Arcserve or Backup Exec. I prefer Arcserve for its better support of
tape changers, and its slightly lower price on those add-on modules (such
as the Tape Changer Option, the SQL Backup Agent, and the Open Files Agent).
Both Backup Exec and Arcserve require separate modules for the backing up
of open files, and "open files module" isn't good enough for SQL servers --
you need the SQL server backup module. These modules are about $450 with
Arcserve.

Run the FoxPro install (or the Office Install) and only select to
install the ODBC drivers, specially, the Fox pro ones.

Go to the drivers tab in ODBC and it will tell you the file name of the
MS Access drivers (scroll the right). If you replace that with a known
good and still have the problem, its an issue with Jet, not the ODBC
driver. In that case you'll have to re-install the jet enginer itself
to
resolve the problem.

HI & Thanks
I am an ISP, but due to limitations by GTE we cannot do ISDN so I am out ofmy realm here.
We have a computer customer in an area that does support ISDN and I have afew questions. I am going to call their ISP in the morning, but I wouldlike to sound intelligent when I call them.
1. Using and ISDN Router Combo, can a company host there own SMALL web,mail, ftp server?2. Do ISP's usually allocate ip address' with 24X7 Unlimited access?3. Is the 3Com Office Connect 511 a reasonable unit?4. Is there a better choice???
Any other tidbits of info you can lend me???
Thanks againJOhn :}

John,
We have a number of ISDN customers here that host their own mail servers onISDN and a few that host their web server over it. Usually they want theirwebsites to be on our end of the ISDN so it is faster to whoever is loadingit and if for some reason their ISDN is down their site is still up.Usually they wish to keep their mail servers on their end of the ISDN soall of the inter-office mail does nto have to pass up and down the ISDN.
As for the IP's most of our 24/7 customers are assigned either a subnet of8, 16, or 32 IPs depending on what they need.
The Office Connect 511 is a nice little unit, we sell alot of 3Com stuff,usually the 521 or 531. I have the 521 at home and I have NO complaintsabout it. It connects very well with my 3Com Total Control on the otherend.. :) We also sell the Ascend Pipeline 50's, and 75's to ISDNcustomers. I personally like the Office Connect better, but that is justpersonal preference.

Answers below-Matthew
- Can Seagate backup to a Network drive?Yes as long as you have an account that has access to them.
- Does anyone know an easy way to make my NT Uniprocessor setup go toMultiprocessor without a re-install?There is a util in the Resource kit, called UPTOMP.EXE allows you to go fromUni to Multi processor.
