[Sussex] Wired Network Talk...

[Fay Zee]

Steve,


Can you find out how many amps are available in the two rooms we normally get?

There's only one double socket in the mirrored room, but IIRC there
are more in the room opposite the food bar.

The more amps, the merrier :-)

Richie: I can bring in a 24-porter, a Ubuntu server, a firewall, a
flat screen and a dozen patch cables if required.
