The most important thing to do when starting a new job is, find out where the toilets are. As you're working from home you've got that one sorted. The rest is plane sailing. :)

Congratulation for new job.

A New Job is a good chance to meet new colleagues and do something new.

DSL drops could be due to your distance from the headend, which if I had to guess, is pretty far, being in the 'burbs and all.
Ditch the XP and roll your own Linux install. I have the Cisco VPN package for Ubuntu, or use your MBP for work, like many of us do.

Congrats on the new job. I am still looking since March after being downsized from ITC.

Dan, there are OS X versions of the Cisco VPN and there used to be an OS X version of iPass. I can do everything except participate on Web Conferences because it requires IE. Now if we would just release 11g on OS X I could even do testing on my MacBook Pro.

I'll bring it up next week if you don't see this comment before then.

Thanks, Kyle. I had the VPN installed too, just too many other things that I
felt it better to conform with the corporate standard for now. I don't
anticipate it will be too long to go back to the Mac--I miss it a lot
already.

I knew before I joined that there is a lot of MacOS in use at Oracle. I just
reverted to Windows long enough to make sure I have all the necessary
software components. I hope to go back to Mac soon.

Thanks for the heads up!
