[LUAU] Possible Meeting topics... and some misc notes

[Ronald L Fox]

Chris and Donovan,

I'll bring a laptop with Win95 only to demonstrate the VNC client if we have
a phone line that I can use to place a local call back to my server.  You're
welcome to use that laptop to telnet into your router and desktop machine.
If you want to install the VNC Xserver on your machines you can run the
VNC client on the laptop to use X apps on your hosts also.

Questions:
1) Is there an analog (POTS) phone line in the room that we can use for a
   local call?  If there's no phone line then I can't very well demonstrate
   VNC unless Donovan wants to install the VNC Xserver on one of his machines.

2) Do you have a 10BaseT hub for the LAN?  If not, I'll bring one and a
   few Cat5 cables also.

I can also bring a LCD projector for the laptop so that we aren't all
trying to crowd around a tiny screen.

Let me know if any of this _isn't_ needed otherwise I'll plan to bring it all
to the meeting.

See you there,
Ron
