Hi Folks,
Thanks for the offers. greatly appreciated.
Jon - please bring machine set for dhcp/masq/dns. can you bring cable and
crimps (just in case)?
Paul - yes please, come and help.
I am getting loan of a hub (possibly two) and a number of patch cables.
I am also bringing an extension lead and three four-way extensions.
Yes tell the Nottingham Uni folks, but I will need definite numbers no later
than Tues evening (I think we can take up to 6 visitors without too much
trouble - after that we have to order more food!!)
So far, I have three from County Council IT, 6 from Trent University and 2
from a recording studio looking to possibly move to linux.
(Plus LUG members, thats why I need definite numbers)
Regards,
Godfrey
