[Hidden-tech] RE: Shaysnet

Users of Shaysnet;

I am sending this thru Hiden-tech because there has been a discussion about
Shaysnet here in the past, and I suspect there will be another this weekend.

On Wed my son and I became the owners of Shaysnet. I have been a friend of
David Leonard since somwehere around 1974 or 1975 when we both worked at
Kollmorgen. He sold it to us in the hope we would keep it going. Our plan
is to do just that, as well as expand and improve things.

The change started on Thursday. First one of the suppliers of phone service
changed some routings, after they were told several times not to do so.
Since I was away at a client's place in CT, I didn't know until I got home,
Thurs afternoon.

This morning something happened at one of the servers. Looks like email
comes in, but doesn't go out. David leonard has been working that problem.

I apologize for these problems. I want everything to run as smooth as
possible, as quickly as possible. Hopefully by this weekend it will.

Why stuff was changed, I don't know. I will do my best to prevent it from
happening again. In engineering, I strongly believe in two things: If it
ain't broke, don't fix it, and KISS (Keep it simple stupid). 

The future:

I would like to have some feedback of what you would like to see. How could
we improve? What new offerings would you like? Please tell me. You can send
an email to:

High speed internet in the hills:

Jim Jr has the same problem that many Shaysnet users have. He lives in
Ashfield, and has no chance of DSL or cable. Not enough folks on a street
that is too long. Plenty of cows, but they don't appear to want to surf the
web. Since I am in the microwave business, and JIm Jr is a antenna tech at
a local company, we have begun looking a something wireless, like WiFi or
WiMAX. The plan is to instrument & set up an experiment at Jim Jr's place.
I will keep in touch...
