There's a reason I've gotten out of small ISP consulting - I don't do Windows, and I'm getting overrun by Linux corrosion slowly. I route, I switch, I help with securing networks. And I do wear a lot of hats at my day job, but I remind them that they hired a specialist, and promised lots of server support all along the way. Granted, the Windows guy is overloaded and the UNIX/Linux guy would snore in front of his PHB...
If you are in Nebraska I can help you with the Unemploy^WWorkforce
Development paperwork.
