In regards to the Pskmail conference I would like to put only one point
forward:

We do not have enough servers in the Pacific area.

I have spend many hours helping other OMs trying and setting up servers,
with some far and way from here.

Although it was a pleasure to do so, I am convinced that that time would
have been better spend explaining how to use Pskmail rather than helping
with installing Linux on their machines.

At the end of the day, in my case, the Linux install represents the great
great majority of the time spend with the new Pskmail stations and I believe
is THE key impediment to the addition of new servers is this region.

Again this week I have spent several hours (unsuccessfully) helping an OM,
who has upgraded his server's machine, reinstall Puppy Linux on his new
machine for a dual boot.

It creates a feeling of "why does it has to be so hard?" in the new users
when it should be a simple download and configure exercise.

So that's my only request for the conference: since we already have a good
framework in the Java client for connected exchanges can we add the mail and
web services (at least the basic ones). We would then have a nice new tab:
"Server".

This will fit nicely in the one stop shop concept of the modem integration.

73, John
