Its a pleasure :)

Apparently the icca still have no modem facility, so it looks like the
best communicatio method in and out is via Thorsten's mobile. I'm going
to be away from tomorrow afternoon, and then in Paris from the Saturday;
so my reporting will cease today.

What could be possible (and I'll have to ask Thorsten), is for soembody
to take on the task of phoning him, and getting results and partial
results as they come in; and posting them here.

Problem for Thorsten (and I don't think he knows it yet) is that his GSM
mobile is registered in germany. If you call him while he is out of
germany, the call gets routed  first to his german control, which then
routes it to Paris. You pay for the call to germany; but HE pays for the
german to France routing. This can get expensive at GSM rates.

Anybody want to volunteer to do the job of calling him and posting live
reports ? Volunteer here, post me your email, I'll check with Thorsten,
and email you his mobile number .....

And anybody(s) offering to compensate him for the expense (Thorsten is
not a rich man). Maybe some beers, currywurst or small cash gifts next
time you meet him ...
