Upgrades/Failures


Upgrades:

Due to hardware failures the system is on it's:

  • third ADSL modem
    • First modem didn't fail, it just became obsolete (1Mb only)
    • Second modem failed
    • Third modem was retired still working
  • third switch
    • Second switch was fine but I upgraded to a gigabit switch
  • fifth disk
    • 1 for 'Winder... which is dying
    • 3 for NEXCOM
    • 1 for PC Engines
  • third UPS battery

Went through four ADSL ISPs... but still kept the same static IP for 18 years: dsl.ca -> wiznet -> magma -> primus.

I have now switched to cable and start.ca.
