Hi, If I understand your message, you might have used computer equipment to > offer?
That is correct, i guess that what might be most bang for the buck is networking equipment and perhaps servers (if there is a need?). A first batch of equipment could contain; Cisco Catalyst 2950 Switch (24p 10/100 and 2*1ge fixed cupper uplink, ws-c2950t-24) Cisco Catalyst 2950 Switch (48p 10/100 and 2*1ge fixed multimode (mtrj), ws-c2950sx-48) Paradyne Bitstream 2600 ADSL2+ DLSAMs (24port ADSL2+, up to 26mbps) Cisco Multimode GBICs HP DL380g4 servers Cisco AP 1010 and 1020 Once i get a feeling for whats needed i might be able to find a sponsor for that stuff.

So if you hear about any pilot project in the need of network equipment, drop me a line, or drop them a line and tell them about me. Best regards, David Syk
