Bart,
I fully support this project along with Jason. He and I (along with one
other) manage our installation in the Wiztronics facility.
Since I'm furloughed for the foreseeable future, I'm available to work
on the install crew if/when this moves forward. We have a floorstanding
rack in the west building of the north compound that has plenty of room
for a switch in that building.
