I have a large pipe into my home, GCI 1.5mbps / 512kbps upstream... I
may be interested in hosting the LUG, currently I am not sure if I have
a static ip, I don't recall whether or not I get a static ip with my
service.

PS. Some ideas for the LUG would be to implement postnuke and maybe even
a helpdesk system.
