How does a community pull this off ? ( continued )

then...

give the Citizen's Telecom phone crew plenty of room to work

fit the equipment
into the cage ...

How to arrange all the stuff into the tiny "cage" required lots of dialog and ingenuity.
Dr. Randy Sechrest consults with Dr. Tony Pajas as they put the finishing touches on the tiny closet that will house the Internet node.

make and check all the connections ...

Days & nights became a blur as pieces came together;

Tony Pajas had to be reminded to eat!

then, configure all the equipment ...

• Once the hardware was installed and the phone lines hooked up, Tony got down to the fun part...
• Configure everything in sight so that all the pieces that made up the internet node were ready to go.
• Since all the equipment resides in the library, names of authors were given to all hardware addresses.
• "Homer" was the name given to the server.

finally the testing... community members and volunteers offered support and kind thoughts till it happened ...

Look, we're on-line !
