Bill -

Gary says we can have an internet connection for the computer I use for the 
morning presentation and software loading workshop.  I won't be needed that 
internet connection once we get Post Office loaded.  So, after lunch we can 
move the internet connection to the Linux computer(s).  Or, it's possible 
Gary can arrange for additional drops.

Is that a 4-port USB/Serial hub or a four-port USB/USB hub?

What else? - Depending on how many in the morning session bring computers 
and do not bring a TNC - we can use AX.25 TNCs for testing the installs.  I 
don't have as many spares as I did for the April TC as we now have the 
Melbourne switch installed. It is most beneficial (and assuring) if each 
program can be demonstrated to blink the PTT LED on a TNC.
