[Computerbank] Re: [cai-sa] East Timor

[Peter Gossner <gossner@arcom.com.au>]

Whats the general consensus on this ?
Surely we can help.

CAiSA should be able to manage about a half dozen boxes in near future.
(233mhz +) However we have no modems.
Perhaps Vic or NSW has those ?



I would be happy to talk to them to get a sense of  what they need and
how they have their office set up...(gateway etc)...



How do we move forward with this.. as an organisation ?
