Unfortunately, no I did not.
Two basic reasons: time, expertise.
We only had ten days per trip to accomplish all goals and also because
networking is my weakest area on IT :o(

Besides, budget is <B>very</B> short in Panama. All the work is done by 
volunteers like my wife and I.
The mission can not afford to buy new books, PC parts in general, etc. 
Everything I sent down
there was donated. 

When returning to Panama, I "intend" to build a 
"simple-sort-of-efective" firewall (Smoothwall ?),
a print server, a dial-up server (no broadband available/affordable). 
These are my primary goals.

<shameless request here>
 If anyone is interested on donating old PCs (working condition :o) ), 
parts,
howto books on above topics,  etc., feel free to contact me off the 
list. We ship containers w/ donations
three times per year

ps; Bjorn, somehow I missed your posting. I will start putting 
everything together for you.
     How soon do you need it?
