indicates we are not blocked.  Our logs indicate the mail is accepted for

Especially during acquisitions, my $EMPLOYEER has made several
acquisitions recently and every one of them was wrought with painful
RFC1918 overlap problems.

George,
Perhaps I misunderstood you - I am not behind any sort of large scale
NAT, however my CPE, self supplied router (actually an old sun blade
100 running openbsd) does provide nat for the other devices on my home
LAN.

Ryan,
I agree the more people communicating the better.  I was just
commenting on what my own, and suspect many others on the list's
capabilities are.  While I would love to have access to a satellite
type of data service as a backup link its simply not in my budget and
even if it was I suspect any service available via satellite might
suffer from similar problems if the methods used to disrupt
connectivity in Egypt were employed here.

I agree that setting up "local" connectivity between the folks in my
neighborhood wouldn't be too much of a challenge.  Getting anything
much beyond that up and running would be a stretch.

Congratulations.

Hopefully this trial makes its way to the Morgantown, WV area sooner
rather than later (I'm not holding my breath) and I'll be able to
reach the ipv6 internet natively instead of over my HE tunnel.

While certainly not the best stuff made I've found the ubiquiti
equipment to be very nice for the price and have a few of their AP's
which have been in service 24x7 for a couple of years now.
