If we're going to do this, we'll have to move the tlug server up to the
10mb coloc at PSInet.  Probably late next week sometime would be the
earliest we can do it.

The only thing that I'm worried about is physical space over there - I'm
not sure we have enough.

Rex - if you'll mail me (privately) the NNGS source code I can set up a
testing server on one of my development boxes to see if we can get it up
and running.

So what do we call it, "TLUGGS" ?
