Hi all!

Just wondered, if I could pick your brains on this one:

I am the IT Manager of an NGO. It is just 1 1/2 months since I arrived
and previously this NGO has not had an IT person, but have relied on its
international IT Dept.

Right now, IT services are only present at the national HQ of this org.
At a later point we are going to connect regional offices up as well,
and maybe local in the long run. But as a humanitarian NGO with focus on
the human work here, we do not have many funds for internet access,
especially in the rural areas of Uganda. And it would be exorbantly
pricey to get even the slowest DSL line into every local office we have.

Right now these offices rely on visiting internet cafes where available,
to cater for their mail and internet needs.

So I am contemplating to set up a small dial-in service. In the
beginning for the regional offices, but in theory there is really no
other limit on this ability other than availability of enough phone
lines and time to allow every office access as well as phone costs.

The main (and maybe only) access would be to our Notes email services.
We have limited bandwidth at the national HQ to supply web access to
"the outside" at the moment.

Would we be required to obtain an ISP license for such a set up?

Thank You in advance for any reply or thought on this.
