To be honest, there will be room for some paid positions if this goes like
we think there will be...and I intend to offer them the SLUG first. This is
a rather unique opportunity, and I hope all goes as planned. It looks good
so far though.

Hey, if you need an entry-level admin who can do the job by
telecommuting, I'm interested. Really.
Keep us apprised of this. The "SLUG ISP" idea may or may not fly, but it
would be nice if we could get some SLUG folk adminning the boxes there,
