I'm going to need an ISP up somewhere near Bretton Woods, New Hampshire,
for the Digital Bearer Settlement conference I'm trying to do at the Mt.
Washington Hotel in the middle of August (we're looking at the 10th-13th so
far, but I'm still talking to the hotel about it).
In Anguilla, having as a business partner the owner of the only ISP on the
island certainly had its compensations, but I ain't gonna be so lucky on
this project. :-).
What I'd really like to have (depending on what something better costs, of
course :-)), is a dedicated dial up line at a local ISP for a week. Then we
can nail up the line, plug a router into it, and at least people will have
email and slowish web surfing. Anything above that then becomes gravy.
So, anyone know someone trustworthy up there in the Mt. Washington area I
should hook up with on this? If I'm lazy and they're willing, maybe I'd let
them handle the whole network thing, (router, hubs, a few PCs, lots of
empty hubspace for notebooks) and I wouldn't have to bring in anyone to do
it for me. Not to mention all the hardware. Of course, hauling a bunch of
goodies from Boston might be way cheaper than renting it all up there...
Anyway, if you have any ideas, send me, by direct email, pointers to people
up there, and, of course, pass this message around to anyone you think
might be interested...
Cheers,
Bob Hettinga
