Ah - good point. How's that going?

Sounds like Alice McCullagh <alice.mccullagh at gmail.com> is the contact.

If you're going to have multiple machines, wireless or not, we should
probably just give you a range of addresses, like we do when using
machines in the Loft.

You could just use a ready-to-go wireless NAT router, but it'd be nice
to choose one that makes it possible to manage and so that you or I can
log in from outside and see what's going on.

e.g. when someone tries to start torrenting (not that you couldn't
already), you'll want to know where it's coming from.

Something like UCC's coromandel. Or:

for a $78 shiny new version.
