Here's a list, in order of decreasing importance, of the kinds of resources I think the project most needs right now: 1. Internet connectivity (for providing more distributed services) I'll volunteer InfoMagic ;-) (Yes, I've discussed it with them; that's why I was slow in responding/offering) to pick up some portion of the net-load; they've got a T1 with some available bandwidth, and are planning to get another within a couple of months. We'll be happy to provide sup and other service. I'll be happy to do the admin for it (though I haven't set up sup-service before, so someone to coach would certainly be welcome!). Can you give me some idea of what sort of load 20 sup clients is (in terms of bandwidth and processor requirements)? As far as hardware and $$ donations go, I have a few comments (which will have to wait until I have a minute to think clearly! ;-) Jon
