Sorry, I should have sent this as a private message and not to the list.

>> Hello,
>>
>> We had the same issues in 2005, so in 2006 we acquired a second line from
>> Roadrunner for $100/month, which is a great price. The line is 6.5M download
>> and .35M upload. The *downloading* always is the one to be used up quickly
>> due to YouTube, etc. This gave us a T1(1.5)+RR(6.5) down, but the tricky
>> part was to load balance the two lines *and* make all the library database
>> connections, oplin-email, database-authentication, ILS authentications,
>> *always* go through the Oplin T1 line, and then load balance the rest. To do
>> this, we purchased a low cost XINCOM DualWan Router, which is still in use,
>> but is not the best way to do this by any means. At least it has been stable
>> and faster, and allows some rules for mapping connections to the T1 or RR.
>> However, now I am thinking there would be much more flexibility with
>> something like PfSense open source firewall, which we also run on the staff
>> network, but not for the DualWan, which the XINCOM handles.
>>
>> Setting up a DualWan where you have servers, and database authentications is
>> not real easy, because of setting the rules for all the databases. Busy
>> work, but not much fun.
>>
>> We also contacted Oplin about 6 months ago, and had the opportunity to
>> upgrade our T1 to a fiber optical channel. If your library meets the
>> requirements of 80% usage, you can get a 10M fiber-op line for free as we
>> did. It is very fast! This is some new state program for faster Internet to
>> schools and libraries. When you reach 80% of 10M sustained, then they up you
>> to 20M(free), then 40M(free), then 100M(free) until your firewall and router
>> can't take it anymore. After that Gigabit network equipment is needed, as
>> the fiberop line can go to 1Gigabit, if all your networking stuff can handle
>> it.
>>
>> Well, that was our experience, and before we did anything and had a single
>> T1, we had to wait a very long time for loads, or had timeouts.
