Re: Equipment and infrastructure help

Well, thanks again for posting links and the technical information of
SharePoint. That doesn't help me too much with figuring out which equipment
works together. Which newsgroup can I use to get general information about
hardware and software which works together to provide network storage, SBS,
and backups for a small company?

Obviously, I haven't learned yet how to word my question properly to get
help without a bunch of links to documents. Where can I find a consultant
to help me decide what equipment I need?

thanks,
Keith
