What type of devices exist for a line failure.  If we have a fiber line and then want to ensure backup with a cable line, what is the intermediary device that we would have that would cut over to the backup in the event of a primary line failure?  Any direction or experience appreciated.

As kids will be on the network, do you have anything in place currently to provide Gateway Antivirus / Web Content Filtering?

It sounds like you're creating a new network, is that correct?
