Great, well pending a mass-revolt, I hereby change our Christmas Do to be
on Sunday the 6th of December, starting at or about 2PM.

Yes.  And I believe they do an all-you-can-eat pizza for $5.

I don't think cabling will be a problem, I think GW have a roll of UTP and
their own crimper, so they can make up extra cable on the fly, crossed and
double crossed. :)
Also if there are a large number of machines with BNC, I'm sure one of the
other linux machines can be given a 2nd NIC and made into a proxy-arping
router. :)
