IF and only if people will donate the hardware for this. I can afford to spend the 100$ a month a friend of mine will charge to put a machine in Chicago Nap. This could be connected at atleast 10Mbit and possibly 100Mbit depending on wether or not the hardware is available. This would locate the machine in the worlds heaviest backbone node and be great access for everyone. All I ask from this machine is a spot to run a low use Web server from ( 300 - 400 hits a week) I would also be willing to maintain this piece of hardware for nothing more than this use. > 3.

I well if you build a machine here at our university to run SUP/FTP from which is a dual homed T1. We can provide the taz incentives you are looking for. All you do is ask the core team to collect money then have them send the hardware for the machine to the university. We can then write a receipt for the person that actually donated it (ie. if a scsi controller cost 200$ and two people donated 100 each we would write a receipt for 100$ for each of those two people.) This possibly could be of help. I don't know just more food for thought. Matthew S. Bailey mbailey@cps.cmich.edu Assistant Sys Admin
