Dear Keith, <div>Could you try to send us the specs of that briefcase so that we can emulate?</div><div>Or even the photo?</div><div>We can try to emulate. So far I am not aware of anything similar in implementation, if not the blueprint.</div>

Actually one really fantastic idea that came out of the Christchurch<br>
disaster recovery is the idea of an "ISP in a brief case". We saw the<br>
actual result of this at the NZNOG meeting this year, a clever set of<br>
cellular, sattelite and other connectivity modules, all linked to local<br>
wi-fi access points, using batteries and solar panels and a few little<br>
bits of smarts to link it all together.<br>
<br>
Sadly, the briefcase is so intensely wired up that it would show up as<br>
probably being a bomb in airport security, otherwise I would have tried<br>
to bring it along to Japan.<br>
<br>
It would be great to know if there were any similar concepts that came<br>
out from the Japan disaster that were similar?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
