I run a 6 PC domestic network with a /29. Router is Linux 6.1, Couple of disk stores, storage capacity currently running past 150Gb, mostly MP3's and ripped DVD videos (pink Floyd, Tina Turner, the corrs, etc etc) and I admit to some help from Don Stokes with a couple of curly things DNS things, I run 4 AVVID IP phones at home, over a bullet proof 802.11b/directional aerials link to a well-known Wellington Provider. 5Mbps both directions... no outages ever (apart from known maintenance). (Si, I take it all back, I was only winding Dean up....... )
Dean has actually been in my domestic cave, when we were discussing email ugliness (which I've since solved with trestlemail/fetchmail).
4 AVVID phone connect to a hub on the outside ethernet, all the PC's are natted through the router. Very cool, multiple lines on a single number, quite a different proposition than a multiple analogue phones on a single copper pair. You can call me on 04 914 6374 if you wish to check out the voice quality.
Bitter things I have learned.......
Because I don't run BGP/4 domestically, I can never aspire to the lofty heights of this elite group....
Understanding how this stuff works is completely useless, in fact an impediment when attempting to have a dialogue at an executive level.
Not so bitter things I have learned..
Working for Cisco is very cool. In spite of the fact that we ask you to change IOS versions like everyone else changes underware.

Now Dean, my /29 raises your LANtastic network......
