Doctor Network - Steve's experience in the area of computer networking.<br><br>

I have experience working on many types of PC's and
minicomputers, on both hardware and software issues. I have worked on
many types of networks, from University-size to two-computer size. Back
in the early 1990's I was a system manager/network manager of a
university-based graphics laboratory. While there I learned how to run
UNIX- and VMS-based minicomputers and their peripherals on a thinnet
Ethernet network with various protocols including TCP/IP and DECNET.
Starting in February of 2001 I gained Windows-based networking
experience as an installer of <a href="http://www.starband.com/">Starband</a>&nbsp;satellite
Internet access systems. I installed (June 2003) a mixed wired/wireless
network for resource sharing at <a
 href="http://www.plowcreek.org/">Plow Creek Farm and Fellowship</a>, later adding a link
to the town of Tiskilwa using wireless and fiber optics based connections.&nbsp; Starting in the late
fall of 2006 I installed wireless (ground-based) Internet access for people
in the area who are near one of the <a href="http://www.nbson.com/">NBS</a>
wireless towers.  I have been (August 2007) a certified installer for 
WildBlue satellite Internet access systems through 
Wind Power Electric in Princeton, Illinois, but no longer install satellite systems.  &nbsp; 
I try to keep up with the ways people can connect to the 
Internet in the rural areas of Bureau, Marshall, Stark, Putnam and nearby 
counties.  I am conversant in many networking protocols and mixed Windows/Unix(Linux)/Mac 
networking.<br>
