Now if 3 were still IBM Token Ring network and the other 4 were IP and you could not afford to replace the first 3 yet they satisfied a large proportion of your customer base what would you do?

When i got the 7 servers they were running various o/s and i saw it as a priority to better my own network to ensure they were all on the same wavelength, therefore making it easier for my techs to work with.
On the network issue, which machines did i have first? the 3 token ring then added the 4 IP??? if so then the 4 IP would of been converted to token ring as they were purchased.... this is hyperthetically obviously as it is all IP based,
So any machine gets added into my network as it is purchased.... i purchase 1 machine at a time, and integrate it into my network, with its IP its OS etc.......
At the end of the day, i can understand NTL have done a good thing getting this far, but why should they be congratulated for doing a half job????
When your changing the brakes on your car, you know there worn out, because you cant afford 2 pairs of pads (left and right sets) do you just replace the pads on the right hand side and think its a job well done?
