Hi Chuck,

Getting ready for Field Day. We will have multiple operating positions all
using the N3FJP Field Day Logging Program. All the laptops will be
connected via wireless LAN. The LAN needs to provide basic network stuff,
dhcp, ntp, etc. There will be no Internet connectivity, so the server will
have a USB GPS puck for time standard. I need a quick and dirty way of
grabbing files, so I was thinking of a basic web page users could browse to
and click to download files. The users will mostly be barely computer
literate Windows users, so everything has to be pretty basic. The files
involved will be relatively small.
Yes, it is a small POS type device. I already got a Crucial 120GB SSD and
bracket and it is installed. Just got the power cord today, will try to
fire it up later.
