is there anything off the shelf (and cheap) for this situation? i have my house wired with cat-5, and my mother-in-law lives downstairs. when both my wife and i are called to the hospital (we are both docs), i'd like to give her a quick message letting her know, so she can keep an eye on our 19 month old. i guess i could have a small computer in bedroom so that i can use ICQ/Netmeeting/etc. if the internet appliances drop in price, maybe those would work too, i guess.
i had a chance to present a project of mine at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Annual Clinical meeting in San Francisco this may. It was a web-based ob record, using postgresql, php and apache on SuSE Linux.
i was hoping to generate some interest in promoting the development of a free software that ob practioners could use, but was disappointed by the reception. both from the college, and from physicians in general.
the problem seems to be several fold. as mentioned above, most physicians are not experienced computer guys. even if they are, it is very difficult to find time to do the developing. time seems to be in short supple for a doctor. also, one has to start EMR at the very begining of his/her practice, or the volume of information prevents easy transfer from paper to electronic.
i'm still hopeful, and hope to try out our project in real life.
anyway, check out the site http://eors.org

i would stick with the router. i have an isdn card that has no support for the NI-1 protocol in my area (michigan, USA). the europeans have better support through i4l. the netgear router also has a built in hub, so NIC card is the only thing taking up space and irq number in your computer. it would be nice to have faster bandwith, but the isdn sure is faster than the old analog way!

is it now THE GPL, as in THE Ohio State University?

or its, as in "It's a nice day today"?
