Portland Fish Exchange
Data and Information
Server and Access Computers
Prepared by: Bob Groman
JGOFS Server
Portland Fish Exchange has a contract with Hiway Technologies, Inc.
to host their Web site. This SGI computer system can be used as the
JGOFS data server as well. They do have serveral constaints, the
most awkward is the requirement that all programs run out of the
"cgi-local" directory. This will require some programming changes,
but they can be accommodated.
Access Computer
I propose that we fund the purchase of a fairly robust computer
system for the Portland Fish Exchange's use to facilitate their
involvement in our project. They will have to provide content and
edit data for the web server, receive e-mail from the vessel(s), and
prepare e-mail and other messages for vessels and others. In
addition, I propose that we provide $500 towards the purchase of
24/7 access to the Internet. These funds will cover three months of
Internet access only. After that time, the PFE will be responsible
for the cost. An additional $200 is set aside in case Hiway
Technologies, Inc. assesses a charge for disk space use.
- Provide $200 startup and $100 for three months for Roadrunner
24/7 internet access. Subtotal: $500
- Provide $3,300 for a Dell Dimension PC (as configured
in your e-mail, plus additional memory) for the NOPP
PC machine.
- Provide $200 contingency funds for additional disk storage
to cover data storage at the HiWay web site server.
Total: $4,000
