Soffi:

The satellite connection won't be in place for a few weeks (I am
arranging for installation and lease purchase to cover installation and
special equipment). Expect no problems. There are several machines
that will do for the first server. Down the line as demand builds I will
probably add servers in a way they work together and extend the
satellite bandwidth. I am hoping to get volunteers as remote web
masters (are you interested???) that know exactly what they are doing
and won't screw up the installation. When at least one of these (remote
web masters) come on board I will consult with them regarding a custom
server (instead some of the existing ones) initially equipped with 8 x
200 Gig hard drives plus availability of more storage within the LAN.
The web master(s) and I will decided on the Linux distribution for an
OS, the server, the CPU board and other hardware as well as the details
of operation.

The server will serve both the LAN and the Internet. Please see remarks
on LAN usage and SERVER functionality in previous email. Gateways are
already in place but I do not know at the present time the nature and
functionality of the equipment associated with satellite communications.
The server will be single CPU and the web master and I will have to
agree on the CPU board, LAN card(s) and many many other details. Also,
if the development team accepts the "proposal" in some form they have
final say over who and how many remote web masters there will be. I
meant what I said about "VIRTUAL control by the development group --
they tell us not we tell them. They have neither accepted or rejected
the "proposition" regarding REPOSITORY and SERVER and VIRTUAL OWNERSHIP.

However, if the development group rejects the proposition then you and I
or anyone else interested can work together somehow. Right now
everything stands still (except the satellite connection which is
already a GO) until the development team deliberates and comes to a
conclusion on the "proposal". I really like your eager beaver attitude
so regardless of the outcome I would enjoy working with you. You make
things happen over night. I admire this.

So that's the bottom line for now, good-bye from Harvard -- Ted
