If you like, I can set you up with an account on my PowerMac. You can
test software on it.
I need your SSH public key since it is hanging off the internet. I'm
in a dynamic block, so you will connect with:
ssh -p 1522 bhouse_at_71.179.5.32
When my IP changes you'll have to ping me for the new one.
I keep the box around for testing. A bunch of folks have accounts on
it. It's no big deal to me.
