But actually, they are shared on the ISDN (single line, 2B channel 128k aggregate). The modem is back-up for when ISDN is out.

The real problem, since you were polite enough to be my only taker, is a lack of adequate backup hardware! How the hell, as a consumer/home user, do you backup 200GB+ of disk?!

The cheapest and smoothest way would probably be to buy two cheap 120gb low speed IDE drives for 230$ each. Those backup stations are damn expensive.

Yes, but that's really only impressive if you can speak a lot of languages. Knowing 4-5 programming languages isn't a big deal; speaking 4 languages is.

I mean, I've coded in C, C++, Perl, Java, Visual Basic, VBScript, VB.NET, SQL, XSLT (which unlike HTML or XML, counts as a language), PHP (just enough to realize that I don't like it), JavaScript, C#, Scheme, and Prolog. Admittedly, C and C++ were only for class work in college for the most part; same deal with Scheme and Prolog, only I used them far less. And C# and Java have been largely experimental work; most of what I do is in 'Classic' VB and VBScript, with more and more VB.NET working it's way into the mix -- and a lot of SQL and a little JavaScript.

You too, Ashrum? My company is a recent conquest of the ever growing EDS empire! (formerly UGS(formerly EAI)...three letters....WHY is it always three letters? Probably because it's a front for the CIA...did I write that? Nevermind...)
