Hello, welcome, from your cam.ac.uk address I am assuming you are from Cambridge Uni.
Blimey David, that was an amazing bit of detective work ;-)
A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I was a Field Archaeologist, and have been responsible for introducing 22 tonne tracked excavators to some of Britain's less interesting Scheduled Ancient monuments.
I'm not going to ask.
I would like to know the details, sounds like the Eddie Izard method of archaeology!
Perhaps you can lend advice to a poor student who has be accused of being a wireless network expert and given the task of connecting a field somewhere in the bottom left hand corner of belguim a network connection for a week so a large quantity of geeks in various states of soberness can connect to the web! bugger!
Heh, you don't have to worry about this David, all you have to do is get the wireless LAN to talk to the other bit, I can do all the Masquerade for the campsite and the networky bits and get all the DNS working etc. etc..... that (in answer to your question from irc last week) is what sys-admins are for and what sys-admins do!
