How sad, can't even give away sun fireblade systems anymore.
All sparc and x86 suns have gone away now.
Only ctie pizzeria remains - mainly using two ex-monash sun grid nodes and a pair of dell r710 dual xeon boxes.
Solaris has no place at my work anymore!!!!
At the moment, dell is winning the supplier race.
Still getting 10-13kbs from iinet.
After all this rain, noticed crackle on phone line and also that the adsl media has been going up and down like a yoyo.
reported it to iinet by pasting in part of security log from belkin modem.
Unfortunately it actually goes back to june when it first started doing a reset every few seconds - except for the odd times it stays up for hours.
belkin modem has a "always connected" setting - but there is also a 20 minute disconnect if no traffic.
fiddled with wires a little and crackle has gone away (unfortunately it was gone before I made first wiring change.
1950's house wire with above ground telstra connection to phone jack extension lead to phone-rj jack adaptor to splitter to adsl and phone.
I wonder if the street has dried out enough now for the problem to go away for a while?
Oh well, isolation test needed to eliminate splitter and extension leads and adaptors.
So far so good has stayed up for the last 15 minutes - even using phone.
Update: Did not last - 32:11 to 52:11 - 20 minutes session. At least it is a little faster on this reconnect.

Can't publish or save draft - lost connection again.
And that session then lasted only another 7 minutes and came back slower - a bit more hash on the line.
removed the splitter - still with 3m extension lead from only socket in house
