[PLUG] 2 quick questions

["Bill Hance" <bill@billhance.com>]

Hi Len,

  Dick Elliott's friend Bill Hance here.  I hope all is well with you.

  I have two quick questions for you.

1.  what ballpark should a starting consultant charge? I am Red Hat
certified. I know Solaris 10 and Windows, which I try to avoid. I may be
offered some work consulting, and was asked what my rate was. I have no
idea what to say.

    I have been a Sys Admin for 10+ years.  Never consulted once though.
    any ideas?   ballpark figure?  salary range?




2.  I have a Cisco 2600 with ios 12.0 installed.  I have a WIC-1ADSL wan
adapter that I want to install and use here at home.  (to relearn ios, and
to replace my DSL modem)  The WIC-1ADSL requires ios 12.3 for the c2600.

    I contacted Cisco, and they want me to register, and pay $$.  Do you
have access to downloads?  Can you e-mail me the ios 12.3 image for
the c2600?  Can I snail-mail you a CDR in a SASE, if that would be
easier?

    Any help is appreciated.

    If you ever need an assistant for a job, keep me in mind.  I recently
took the Solaris 10 exams (beta - free) and am waiting for my scores. 
I am currently unemployeed.

thanks for any help you can provide.

  -Bill
