I've had far too much practice at this. (-:

I'm considering doing it wholesale (on _reliable_ hardware) and 
integrating stuff a bit. I have some people interested already; if 
anyone else on the list is interested in connecting with a slightly 
specialised service like this, please contact me OFF-LIST. You will want 
to have one or more of Linux networking skills, LAN skills with Windows 
(to set up client boxes on the gatewayed LANs, basically), or some 
component or service which you think can be profitably integrated with 
such a process. Chris and Jeremy are considered interested by default. (-:

Also, I've had several requests for Linux training from various 
directions. For various reasons, the first one or few of these may be 
connected to the above activities. If you're reasonably technically 
competent in other fields and interested in Linuxifying your skills, 
please also contact me OFF-LIST.

Carl, you would be an obvious customer contact point. It might be 
interesting for the list to hear something about iiNet's specialist 
needs, as it were, for individuals and companies planning to deal with 
iiNet. I believe that iiNet have specialised proxies (hymn, for example) 
and other facilities that the hoi polloi, for various reasons, never notice?

Responses may be a bit lagged as I'm recovering from a severe flu-ish 
thing ATM.
