I have been reading this msg with great interest. This is great. Doing something for the community. How do your wok, or the people paying for the connections feel? Is it a case of they have to pay for the link for you to work, so do not mind, if it is shared as long as you have no bandwidth problems? I think it's great how doctors etc can go to other parts of the world and help people less fortunate than us but always wonder what I can do - what use are computers when people need medicine, food and somewhere to stay. But there are other ways we can contribute to the people around us like you are doing. Hope it all works out well. Tam.
