I got my first job, just out of school in '99 from Monster.com in Software Development. Then, in my second job search just recently, I got 3 offers from Monster.com in Network Engineering.
Maybe it is just because I apply to so many damn jobs, but Monster.com seems to work for me. I never had any luck with hotjobs.com or dice.com, though.
You don't necessarily have to pay for the line yourself. You can connect through a service like Packet8 or Vonage that has the PSTN gateways which will route the calls into PSTN for you. So, you can get a cable modem, then use Packet8 to make calls anywhere in the world using SIP/VoIP. No PSTN connection is required in your house at all. It also works great and lets you have multiple phone numbers from practically any area codes! And you can plug the DTA into any broadband connection and keep all of your phone numbers with you. People I talk to over my VoIP DTA can't tell a difference from my old PSTN line.
It looks like all traffic to C&W customers reach there now:

I agree that SG tends to know what he's talking about, but he should have been more cautious with the statements:
"to quickly check for an Ident server, type the following command at an MS-DOS Prompt:
netstat -an | find ":113 "
As before, a blank line indicates that there is no Ident server running on the default Ident port of
"113". (Note the "space" after the 113 and before the closing double-quote.) If, however, you see
something like this:
TCP 0.0.0.0:113 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
. . . then it's probably time to pull the plug on your cable-modem!"
Because other Windows programs may be using ident, and with UNIX/Linux, you will see port 113 listening if sendmail is running. He should have mentioned that it is probable that programs other than IRC may use ident and that there may be no need to "pull the plug on your cable-modem!", but that simply "more investigation would be needed, and you may need to 'pull the plug on your cable-modem!'"
Of course, your work should still be logically correct (unlike my last post). Rule 18 should actually be part of Rule 17 (w/ 24 total rules, not 25). I shoulda proof-read the page b4 copy/paste. sorry 'bout that.

MPLS/POS QoS still will not rival that of ATM b/c MPLS traffic will be all variable sized and at some points these will need to be buffered and Jitter will increase even for high-QoS streams (take the instance where a 30,000B packet of priority x is just being transmitted and a 30B packet of priorty_greater_than_x is sent to an egress port. that 30B packet will have to wait for the entire 30,000 B packet to be transmitted.). ATM doesn't have this problem, as connections' traffic is all 53 B (there is a small bound on the jitter one will ever experience). The problem with ATM is that it is IP-unaware without MPLS. Many MPLS solutions will, in fact, maintain ATM through the core and will only have POS/MPLS LERs. See the "Best Of" Article in the latest Network World article where they named AT&T's IP-aware ATM network as the best out there.

The problem with your argument is that for intelligence, you still need OEO conversion. The all-optical part is the data path only. To distinguish/analyze packets or to set up connections and tunnels still requires OEO conversion.

Yeah, but just wait until there is a big rain or snow storm. I've heard that the service can go out...
