<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'>All, here’s what I can provide<BR>
<BR>
1). Dell 2850 with dual Xeon (have to check Ghz) and at least 32Gb ram.<BR>
<BR>
2). Dell 1950 with dual Xeons, again I’ll get full specs in the next day or so.<BR>
<BR>
And I can provide them on the public internet. We have a Verizon DSL line we use here for testing outside firewall access with a static IP). We can NAT this to have both systems available and you’d just have to ssh or http on non standard ports for one of the machines.<BR>
<BR>
We also have some 32gb Intel X-25 SSD drives we can add to these servers as well (I think we have 4 available).<BR>

Mike, I think your offer is generous, but realistically systems that<BR>
outside people can't get their hands on aren't going to work, it puts<BR>
too much of a bottleneck in the process having only one pair of hands<BR>
capable of altering the configuration and re-running the tests.<BR>
<BR>
Jeff suggested just renting a couple co-lo's. Absent someone coming up<BR>
with a a pair of machines, that sounds like the best/only idea on the<BR>
table. How long shall we wait until we pull the trigger on this? Shall<BR>
we try harder to find a host?<BR>
<BR>
