BRK, you're right, the major difficulty I faced was getting the system up and running after a power loss too long for my APC's to handle. The HP server I used didn't restart. Other then that, at the time, they offered server products you couldn't get anywhere else. My aggravation with HP is that they new of the issue, since they corrected it on later models, but didn't offer an update to the operating system for my model. Various hackers had ways of dealing with it so I know the box could be restarted. I tend to be an early adopter and once again paid the price for being one of the first to do something.
Cisco is also a great company. I don't want to slam them or HP. They've both had some issues recently. Blue Pig, I would check you numbers on HP's sales breakdown. It doesn't appear to be accurate. Dyndns has a list of dns certified routers. Three of them are Linksys, which was bought by Cisco, but my reading of the reviews on the dyndns site, indicated the DLink were better for what I wanted. And they've worked well.
The network cameras I installed are also working very well. I've ordered more.
