[FADCA] Memory sticks

[bud Thompson]

I don't plan on being at Hamcation today (Sunday.)

Is this VM the way we might be able to run a co-located MARS Telpac Node 
totally separate from the Ham FPAC switch?

Also is this a way to run a remote FPAC switch initially to test it out and 
see if it has serious bugs such as shutting down the computer?
