"Naive" (not so stupid) Newbie bashfully seeks help
Ok, I wont' approach the mailbomb subject. I've been on the list for a week, but haven't seen anything applying to my ignorance gap--which is considerable. Can anyone help this fledgling with his problems? FACTS... - Small US office has 56kb satellite link to India office - 56kb connected using Bay Networks AN Router & IP/RIP - Same US office just brought up T1 Frame-relay line through national ISP - T1 connected using Cisco 1005 Router & ....I think IP/RIP?? - US office server is WinNT 4.0 & workstations are Win95 PROBLEMS... (This I know of so far) - Office computers (PCs) can use either 56k or T1, but not both - If both are designated in PC's TCP/IP Protocol properties, can't get either to work - People in INDIA office cannot see T1 line or Internet at large GOALS... - How do I get Routers working together so that US PCs can see India & Internet networks and India PCs can see US & Internet networks? Sorry for my ignorance. I'm learning some stuff from InterNIC, Cisco & BayNetworks, but thought one of you might help accelerate my learning curve.

Best to spell it out in excruciating detail for newbies.... There are copious resources to help new ISP's available at http://www.amazing.com/internet Be sure to check http://www.mtiweb.com/isp as well. You can join one of several ISP mailing lists by sending a message reading subscribe to: inet-access-request@earth.com General ISP discussions freebsd-isp-request@freebsd.org Using FreeBSD as an ISP linuxisp-request@lightning.com Using Linux as an ISP isp-marketing-request@sparknet.net ISP marketing and management (no tech stuff on this list) There is also a listserv for general discussions by small to midsize isp's that can be joined by sending subscribe IAP Your Name to listserv@vma.cc.nd.edu There is an ISP trade association that you may wish to join. Info is available at http://www.ispc.org And last but most important, if any of you are ISP's on this mailing list and were not aware of the above resources, send me a private email telling me how you learned about the NANOG mailing list. I'd like to try and see that information about the above resources is available wherever you learned about NANOG since NANOG is more directed towards the larger ISP that is planning to multihome or that runs a national backbone network.
