Minutes of the March 27, 2001 meeting of the STNYLUG --


We had a rather exceptional turn-out, with four in attendance (not counting
the host) which is better than the previous couple of months where we had,
shall I say, 'A much smaller group' (zero, I think <g>).  Glad to see a
renewed interest. In the mix were 3 NEW faces (YES, 3). Perhaps they can
persuade some others to attend next time. (Those 'others' could be some
from the founding group, maybe/sorta 'like a 'reunion' (nahhh, lets not
overdo it!!))

We had a home machine that needed a little prodding to talk to a somewhat
'used' but useful modem and then we were able to kick the little bugger
into connecting to the dial-up service of choice, all within about 4
hours, with a number of 'cooks' each adding a little seasoning to the pot.

A bit of networking was discussed even while the modem team was doing their
thing.

Some security philosophy and procedures were also bandied about during
the configuration exercise.

And as usual there was the 'required' MS bashing, various ISP bashing and
other sundry war stories, all somehow, finally relating to Open Source
Software, LINUX  and other associated topics.

Thanks to Jonathan for the donuts.  MMmmmmmmmm.

Respectfully submitted,

Your Host
