So it is THEIR physical server. Post the details of your lease. I bet they get to have access how and when they wish, since it is their physical hardware. You say you have an unmanaged plan, yet you want them to help you fix your problems. Doesn't work that way. You say they found an issue with your NIC. Did they change it out? Did you ask them to?
Bottom line... stop whining and post ALL the information.
1. Contact your local Red Cross and ask them what is needed. 2. Contact your local Salvation Army and ask them what is needed.
If the answers from 1. or 2. correspond to something you are good at bringing and good at dealing with, load up, get going make contact with the local branch of the RC or SA and help.
If the answers from 1. and 2. do not correspond to something you are good at, stay home and donate money. i.e. if what is really needed is volunteer sheet rock installers, don't go unless you are a sheet rock installer.
Even those of us eligable for medicare can see that the RIAA is doing it's best to kill off the music business. Having lived through the "Omigod you can copy those 45s and LPs onto reel to reel tape" and the "Omigod you can copy that movie onto your own VHS tape" flaps it is pretty clear the music industry is about to make yet another major change.
Have bought but one music CD in the past two years, and the reason is not piracy (I don't) but lack of interesting content at an interesting price.
When I was about 13 (1952) my Electical Engineer uncle suggested that a basic science education was in order... and that I should think about... Computers...
Retired a few years ago. 40 years of programming, managing programmers, architechting large projects, etc. ad nauseum, and so forth.
1. In PDF? How can I annotate and respond?
2. She? The first female programmer I met was my wife... but "She"... is this about political correctness or about programming?
3. Serious comments:
One can only (in my not so humble opinion) learn to program well by working with Wizards. Do so at every chance you get. Accept less pay and a not-so-good title if you can work with a Wizard.
Become a mentor. By teaching what you think you know, you will learn what you really know. This can sometimes be a thankless task. Do it anyway.
Move around. If you have done speech recognition, try database design. Do some hard-core math stuff, then move on to UI design and implementation. Try new things.
You do have your development environment and source code at home, right? You play with it after or perhaps even during the super bowl because finding that "one last bug" is such fun.
Once you become a manager (and you will, if you are good, because leveraging the work of 20 programmers produces more result than you can produce on your own) keep on programming. Don't become a dull knife.
Radio Amateurs have done this for years, since at least 1984. The protocols at that time were 300 baud with perhaps 100 bps throughput. The situation now is more robust protocols (CLOVER, CLOVER2000, PACTOR-II, PACTOR-III) with throughput as high as 750 bps in 500 Hz bandwidth or more than 2000 bps in 2.5 KHz bandwidth. That is data throughput not counting protocol overheads.
There is a large use of this kind of HF store and forward in Africa, for the reasons pointed out in the article. I'm a bit surprised the authors are not aware of (and/or failed to comment on) the existing "email over HF radio" networks.
The Amateur Radio store and forward HF radio network has covered most of the world since 1985, and commercial and military spin-offs from it have been in use nearly as long.
These networks do not use tcp/ip due to the large overhead and requirement for frequent link turnaround. Instead, protocols similar to FIDO or the original uucp based usenet batch are used.
I still run such a system on HF, have done so since early 1984.

The existence of God is a hypothesis, not a theory.
Once enough evenidence is provided, and other hypotheses disproved, then it might become a theory.
Three of three machines updated
to SP2 RC2 with zero problems.
100% success rate.
The internet exists because of open standards.
The logical progression is to open API for the
code bits that provide a common interface for the
use of those standards, and then open software.
The GPL has caused this to happen, but Anderer, like many others appears to not understand the history and implications.
This is all part of the next step in the progression.
