Server room..

Long, long ago.. okay 2002-2005 i used to run small ISP and this was the datacenter... There were two T1 comming into the little Cisco 1752 router, the other boxes were shells, dedi servers, etc etc..
The cable modems were connected to the network but not used for bandwidth, they were connected to the box next to them via e/jtag and rs-232 as well as ethernet, so me and others @ TCNiSO could collaborate on projects remotely. There was even a mechanism for resetting the modems (or the shell boxes) via remote. :P
