2. COMPUTERS: It now appears that we will have enough hardware to 
construct a network.
2a. Hardware- Dale Worley believes he has a line on the necessary 
equipment.  Seeking a Sun workstation with serial ports. Dave Shapiro 
has access to a microvax- will coordinate with Dale.  Dave will pick 
up VT-100's on Friday (Meet at ESP at 3 PM if you would like to help 
move them) and will check to see what is working as they are picked up. 
Property Office thinks there are lots of VT-100's available. Will be 
stored short-term in ESP office.  Bedford's terminals all work, and
would be delivered in February if needed.
2b. Software- Preliminary sketch done. Ken still waiting on hardware 
before software development begins.
2c. Storage- Still looking for novel ideas on how to store the 
equipment until next year.

3. TEAM GOALS/BIBLIOGRAPHY- Have tried several times to reach Dale 
Murphy, but without success. Will do goals and bibliography over the
weekend if necessary.

got no response. Will run IAP activity on January 24 to recruit from MIT
community. 

5. SIGNUPS- Fourteen teams and $1400 are in already.
