ok so dsl is just better in every way than cable. you can get a good router/cable modem and you can set up dmz's to put your servers directly on the internet.
at my work i have shitty speedstream adsl2+ model in bridge mode that connects to my totally awesome snapgear router (get one of these bad boys) then i just forward my ports. you're not going to notice a slowdown at all so i wouldn't be worried about it, i just do port forwarding cause it is easier to set up. you will also probably want to set up some sort of sexy vpn and if you can get some decent hardware that will do it for you (snapgears can do this).

In America most people have cable/are experienced it it because it is way cheaper
At home for $40/month here I can either get a 14mbps cable connection or a 3mbps dsl connection (both unlimited)
For business it was either 5mbps cable or 3-6mbps variable dsl, but the dsl came with the phone package which made it cheaper overall
Would I want the VPN just so I can access exchange from home/other locations?
And the modem AT&T gives me is a combined modem/router
I am also fairly pissed to find that the Cisco 2600 switches (not routers) also need console administration to be setup. I am going to use the one 24 port one just to avoid buying another switch, but is still lame.

if you don't know how to program an IOS or CatOS switch you can just plug shit into it and it will act as a dumb switch. If it doesn't then someone already tried to program it so just reset it.
For IOS:
Console>enable
Console#write erase
some shit about oh my god you are erasing the nvram holy shit are you really going to do it y/n y
Console#reload
Some shit has changed, do you want to save your old shit before you restart this bitch n
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU WANT TO RELOAD THIS FUCKING THING HUH y
For CatOS I don't really remember, but it is something like this:
Console>enable
Console#clear config all
some shit about are you sure or something y
Console#
All I remember is you don't have to reboot the switch if you have CatOS. Most new switches run IOS but since you have a 2600 it could have either one (too lazy to look it up).
If you are really serious about networking I would recommend learning IOS because properly configured a switch is going to be a lot more than 24 ports to plug computers in to.

I got the stupid dsl/t1 gateway today

We don't get to move into the new suite until maybe next week but I am trying to think of the best way to do it all
I get four static ips, they all start with 99. (class b network i guess?)
The DSL thing is kind of confusing compared to cable. I guess it is an integrated modem/router so I don't really have a choice as to not running the server through the router.
If it was cable I would run one line from the cable modem to a switch, then from the switch one line to a router for the rest of the office, and one line to the server. Then I would give the server and the router each their own separate static IPs. That way the server could be on the same tier as the router, and not have to deal with push-through shit.
But I guess now I have to run the server through the router. Is this how it is at your work? So I guess I just bind the server to like 192.168.1.1 (which obviously isnt a big deal), then go into router config and open the ports for the shit like exchange? For some reason forcing this router-push through would seem like it would cause more traffic slowdown with all the incoming emails than if the server could just be connected directly to the modem.
Or are the gateways totally different and I can still bind the server to one of my static IPs and the modem/router all-in-one will just function as a switch where the server is concerned?
