Location and Site Details

 
Location:

The netparty will be at Greensting's automotive shop in the Dulles, Virginia area.

Drivers: Give this maps.yahoo.com button a try: [ Yahoo! Maps ] . The exact address will be made available through email.

Airlines: Plan to fly into IAD or DCA, we can get you picked up at those airports. Assuming you need to be picked up from the airport, coordinate with me by email before choosing your flights.

Greyhound: Union Station is probably the most efficient greyhound stop for this area. Coordinate with me so we can get you picked up in a reasonable time.
 

Site:

If you intend to stay overnight from Saturday into Sunday, you should bring stuff to sleep on (such as a sleeping bag, air matress, whatever) unless we work something else out.

I intend to buy sandwich stuff and soda/juice/drinking water to keep around for everyone. You should still bring some money for food, though, and feel free to bring your own contributions in the form of soda, lunchmeat, chips, whatever.
 

Network:

The bad switch problem from the Summer, 2002 netparty has been resolved. We are borrowing a Cisco 2900 Catalyst (24 port) from my buddy Jonathan at SBBSnet . Feel free to bring extra network cables; I may not have enough cables, especially if a lot of people come. Netgear can bite me, woo!

Internet will be through a proxied dialup. I have a new way of getting us onto IRC where we will not clone, at least. That part of our internet connection will be cool, we'll be coming onto IRC as "yourname@yourname.doom2.net". We will need to make a consious effort not to hog the internet  connection, 10+ people on one dialup could make for some interesting overutilization symptoms.
