I won't be able to be at the meeting this week, because it is on Rosh
HaShanna.
That said I have some concerns about this. The two things that come
to mind are: 1) that the dialups are generally not supposed to be for
computationally intensive work, and I'm a little worried about
pointing all ProE users at them (especially if there's only one) and
2) This would result in us having to maintain two different dialup
configurations long term, which while it doesn't quite double the
amount of work required, it comes really close. We can probably
arrange something short term (it's not like I've had time to upgrade
the dialups to lucid yet anyway), but what sort of timeframe were you
expecting to need this for?
