Both Brian and Jerry<br \/>\nwill make themselves available to come up to dublin and explain to you how<br \/>\nthe box should be administered. I have no problem with this. However, we<br \/>\nhave the following comments relating to this activity and the project in<br \/>\ngeneral. <\/p>\n<p>1) We believe that the configuration of linux on your box is straightforward<br \/>\nto administer. A linux box was part of your system description and therefore<br \/>\nit is not a new element that we have introduced. The administration of SuSE<br \/>\nlinux is widely regarded as comparable or better than Redhat. A useful<br \/>\nresources is:<br \/>\n(http:\/\/elibrary.fultus.com\/technical\/index.jsp?topic=\/com.fultus.suse.guide<br \/>\ns\/guides\/9_2\/suselinux-adminguide_en\/cover.html ) We believe we have<br \/>\nsimplified your software configuration and removed the need for a windows<br \/>\nbox. This was all pre-agreed via email. Therefore we cannot agree to a<br \/>\nreduced payment for the project regardless of whether you still feel the box<br \/>\nis difficult to administer after we&#8217;ve conducted our site visit. <\/p>\n<p>2) We understand that you&#8217;re busy. However, we provided this software in<br \/>\ngood faith over 3 weeks ago. I&#8217;ve personally answered calls from you in the<br \/>\nmeantime, at irregular hours, relating to the configuration of this<br \/>\nsoftware. This was done free of charge. We have yet to be paid for this<br \/>\nproject and will require payment for all work carried out when we&#8217;re fully<br \/>\nsatisfied that we&#8217;ve explained how to configure and administer our software<br \/>\nand the box. This should happen at the end of our technical support call out<br \/>\nnext week. <\/p>\n<p>3) Getting several members of the team to travel to Dublin cannot be done<br \/>\nfree of charge. We have a call-out charge of 250 euro covering one hour of<br \/>\nsupport provided by 2 people. There&#8217;s an additional call out charge of 60<br \/>\neuro each for every additional hour that we work.  For two people we&#8217;ll<br \/>\nreduce this to 80 euro between them. Therefore a 3 hour call out would cost<br \/>\n410 euro. I don&#8217;t believe this is unreasonable as we&#8217;re quite busy and<br \/>\nsimply can&#8217;t afford to donate any more time to this project without payment.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerest regards, <\/p>\n<p>   shane<\/p>\n<p>\/\/=============================<br \/>\n\/\/ Shane Dempsey<br \/>\n\/\/ Technical Director,<br \/>\n\/\/ Gaisan Technologies Ltd.<br \/>\n\/\/ e: sdempsey@gaisan.com<br \/>\n\/\/ u: http:\/\/www.gaisan.com<br \/>\n\/\/ t: +353 051 844810<br \/>\n\/\/=============================<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi guys, Here&#8217;s the email that I&#8217;m thinking of sending Brian Carroll..
