Of course if someone can offer free/cheap external hosting that would be great if the people at the chateau need exernal hosting i may be abble to help them by providing access to a 2Mbit link (soon to become 4Mbit) if they could provide their own hardware (i may be able to provide hardware but am not sure). If you would like more information please mail me off list lonewolff at lonewolff dot info Regarding wireless they have, http://www.soekris.com/net4521.htm And just need it loading with Linux/LEAF/FreeBSD/monowall/.. Well, plus a WLAN card pigtail making and possibly PoE injector.
