[plug] Quakeathon

[John Breen]

		Hmmm... that'd be nice, though it would mean making my P200
into a Linux box.  At least temporarily.  And dredging up Quake to put on
it.  (What?  You don't think I'm going to (er...) "run" quake on windows, do
you?).  The latter might be a problem.

		I wouldn't mind getting a couple of CDs made if someone
happened to have access to a burner as well.

		I have a little 8 port hub with Coax loop and a couple of
power boards.  Also a couple of network cables, and (possibly) a spare net
card.

		I would, however, require a little assistance with
transport.

		Cheers,


		John

			I can (and will) bring an 8-port 10Mbit HUB (it has
a coax loop on it as
			well) one spare power board and some patch/x-over
cables.
			I'll also try VERY hard to get a 10/100 16 port
switch to act as our backbone

network details before hand

			Let me know if I can help as far as downloading goes
etc etc.
