I do have the hardware, and I've run a ISP, so I know that it is quite
possible to put up a server in a colo in a few hours, just as Matt Crocker
said :).  I didn't make it clear to the person from Crocker that I talked
to that I had a potential emergency situation, but I was going to ask
on Monday (when I'll know more myself) if there was any way to expedite.
Now I know, and have emailed Matt directly.

And yes, I started this quest hoping I'd be able to stay local with this,
partly because of the great engagement Crocker has with this community.
