We have DSL!

We have DSL! 03/08/2004 11:23 PM

For the past two weeks I've been moving into a new office, which is one explanation for the relatively light blogging.  The biggest pain has been waiting for the DSL line to get hooked up.  Trying to do business with one phone line shared between voice and dial-up Internet isn't a whole lot of fun. 

The good news is that Verizon came today to provision the DSL line.  My router arrived from Covad the same morning.  The Verizon tech never even came up to my office, but I saw him drive away so I figured I'd try plugging in the router.  I ran through the Covad set-up instructions, and I was online in ten minutes.  Woohoo!

Now comes the good part.  I only ordered one regular voice line because I'm planning to use VOIP over the DSL connection for most of my office communications needs.  With the broadband link in place, I can get the virtual VOIP lines set up.
