[SGVLUG] Solving the problem of Internet connectivity at Burger Continental

[Matthew Campbell]

Good afternoon Lan,

Support obligation noted, good callout.

Can you find us a contact at the restaurant to make the offer to install
the router?  I would not be adverse to donate the hardware and it sounds
like at least three of us could drop by before the meeting to cable it up.
I would like to get their management agreement for us to perform the
operation and for them take on all support and maintenance once we have
finished the install.

Matt
