     Okay, I just plucked your address out of the mail convo you had
with Gary.  I have joined csuite-dev.  Should I be joining csuite-tech
as well?

     Okay.  We have a target of the end of March for being
operational, so I do have to get moving on it.  Please keep me
apprised.  I'll be out of town for two days this week, but I'll try to
put a full day in on it.

     We have an old Sun 3/160 which was donated to us.  It currently

done any recent tests with any version of BSD UNIX?

     I will have to VCN's pretty much as soon as I have an operational

     This would be good.

     What version of Lynx are you currently using?  If it's not 2.6,
we'll probably be looking at integrating it.
