Bah.  I did all that on half the salary (mind you I was in Norwich at
the time) *and* did dial-up networking, writing Windows software to
configure Windows 95 DUN settings (spit!), built the servers from
scratch (none of this Dell nonsense) and ran the technical support
department to boot.  Compulsory Saturday shifts AND continuous on-call
too - for no extra money.

Used Caldera Linux originally, but then switched to Red Hat 5 when it
came out.  Also took on a Windows NT server at one point too.  That
was *fun* (he says sobbing).

Those were the days (wipes away happy tears).  We only had 400
customers, but they were *happy* customers.  Now they've ditched all
the in-house equipment, outsourced the broadband have and gone with
Fasthosts for hosting - the swines!
