Jonathan: Yes, I spoke with Peter about this already, and he is going to
place another NIC card into the machine to be available as a second
external IP. (The existing dual NIC is already used up for one external
and one internal IP number.) This will be available by Monday, and then
I'll post the second IP number to this list so that Raylene has the
information. (05)

If we notice any slowdown of any kind, I'm sure Peter can make available
for us a faster machine, right Peter? ;-) (07)

Yes, the box has the standard gcc, make, and the other usual developer
tools loaded so it shouldn't be a problem.
