I assume that all Peter has to do is allocate a additional IP address,
and configure the virtual interface to allow two IP addresses for the
same MAC.  Presumably, there's no need to have second network
card.  It that correct?

We'll have to talk with Doug about the issues involved in making the VAT
client available.  I recall checking into the licensing issues for
Digitalk Smalltalk runtime licenses, and I believe the answer was that
it's free for non-commercial use.  We will probably need to get
permission from Digitalk to package VAT and a Smalltalk runtime for
distribution.  Making people download it separately would be too big
a hassle.  On a related topic, I recall that Ken and I discussed the
idea of creating a Java based Augment client a while back.  This is
something we should move to the front burner again, once we get through
the first installation.

Please feel free to move forward with an installation on Peter's machine
whenever it's ready to try.  I'll be out of town from June 19-24,
but should have some access to email while I'm gone.

Phil, I spoke with Peter this evening, and he has offered to host the

initial cloned version of Augment. The machine is already up and running

with an external (Internet) IP address. If you are ok with that, we can

start with that machine. Later, as we start to understand how to build

Augment on our own then I'm sure we can run copies on each of our own

machines, including the CHM one.

Hostname: newell.cim3.com

IP address: 64.62.192.8

Hardware: IBM x330 dual (2xP-III/1.13GHz-512KB cache) processor SMP

Memory: 1GB ECC SDRAM

OS: GNU/Linux - Fedora Core 3 distribution

Kernel: 2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp

Raylene, is there any other info that you need in order to prepare the

released version?
