I was in IT, but sadly not the networking end of it. So, I did do some
fairly cool stuff, but nothing with the likes of hosting servers and
such. My biggest accomplishment back then was probably setting up an
ISDN setup in my house. I had a few machines on the network and a linux
box that was DMZ that really did nothing. But no one ever tried to
break into it. Infact I probably had telnet open on it LOL.
