What's the status of the Internet connection at Zach's?  In particular,
I am wondering if the wireless node at Zach's is going to be "high &
dry" without an Internet connection, or else without a global IP address,
any time soon?  The importance of the node at Zach's is that it lets me
access the nodes on Race Street near Washington St.

CUWiN has had a few machines donated to us that are useless for our
purposes (no expansion slots).  I would be happy for you to take them
off our hands.  If you take them, you have to promise me you will not
bring them back to us!
