I am taking this on list, we need to keep it no matter how trivial on the list
that way it is much easier to look back and find it, and also aim others at
it. What I have been finding out over the past 2 - 3 months is we have been
doing all of these side bars and then here comes someone else and ask
the same questions, by keeping it on list we avoid having to do the same
dance twice, or at least reduce it.

As soon as you have the fw punched lets get that one tested and linked.
Bernard is already setting up links to Bill's system on the other coast so
there could be times when I link goes all the way to Paris 17 and back...
Ohh the wonders of networking, indeed I think that the more remote sites
we have on line the more alternative paths we will have in the event of a
emergency, it may sound funny but you can never tell when you need
someone far from the disaster area to give a hand, either because of time
delays or just being remote enough from it not to be effected by it. I am
rapidly learning about that as the company I work for is spreading all over
the planet, we are trying to establish 3 centres of excellents that are about
8 hours distant from one another. 

Back to linking. Looking forward to seeing that link up and running, and
being able to pass traffic and see some activity on it.
