Re: [edlug] Edlug(social)(advocates)DSL-604+ Wireless router

["Bob Kerr" <robertnkerr@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

This is great, it should be fun

I have also quickly thrown together a smoothwall PC for those interested. I 
will bring along the CD for those who would like to reinstall it which takes 
about 20mins.

I look forward to seeing Emergence, however my main aim for the evening will 
be a short 5min question and answer session at 9pm about Edlug(advocates) if 
it should exist at all. If it is accepted then I will take the discussion to 
the side for those willing to take it further.

cheers

Bob
