Abstract
The use of modern technology from non-standard sources allows IT centres to find temporary solutions for operational needs, for example to provide access quickly to a networking infrastructure for the local scientific community. This paper describes the experiences of GWDG with ADSL equipment. Although originally a consumer technology it can also be used in a scientific environment. Despite of having some clear limitations, ADSL technology can be used quite well if other means are not readily available.
In addition various networking issues that arise in a scientific environment are discussed, using the situation in Göttingen as an example.
