GDP: welcome, helpers!

[Graham Percival]

I've posted initial instructions for GDP helpers here:
http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/~gperciva/helper.txt

If somebody could send those to the list (as a reply to this), that 
would make it easier for other people to read.



ASIDE: I wouldn't believe this if I didn't see it for myself, but 
attempting to send that email to the list causes the switch in my 
parent's house to stop working.  My brother theorizes that the power 
output of my ethernet interface is too high, and thus it disrupts the 
router when I attempt to send large packets.

We tried repeated experiments, and this is 100% repeatable -- when I 
attempt to send that message, via SMPT (to gmail), HTTP (via gmail 
webmail), or even scp (to the current host), our switch stopped working. 
 I had to bzip that text file in order to scp it.  (!)

We're not idiots or unfamiliar with computers -- I'm doing a Masters in 
the subject, and my brother has a Ph.D in computer science.  This is 
totally amazing.

Cheers,
