The server can be most likelly locked, without any problem. However, only a
limited amount of traffic will be allowed from-to the machine. I will contact
the TKK/TKY admins to see if the limit can be overridden.

Where are we talking about? Dormitory or CS department?

Again, where? The dormitory has cabled ethernet rooms, and has a eth point in
each room. The CS department has eth net and wlan net, which will have
password access.

We can provide some hardware, but i dont know up until which point it will
have the requested specs. I can ask some people here if we can get some
machines to be used there, but need some time.

The last list of requests is a bit blind. We have a firewalled net there. I
understand the need of a firewall, but then i dont see the point of the ipsec
(the net is wep'ed). The other machines are on their way: HP is providing one
machine. I am most likely providing an AMD64 which needs new discs and perhaps
some more memory.
Can you clarify on these last machines?

Emily, I have a confession to make. I really am a horse doctor. But marry me,
and I'll never look at another horse.
