Stalemate
As of 8pm this evening, my science collaboration simulation project is on standby. The colleague from Simon Fraser University who is responsible for the satellite link from Devon Island back to the Internet told me today that no outside access would be permitted... "no teleoperation of field computers from mainland sites." I have... a teleoperation project. So we wouldn't be able to access our remote computers through their firewall. So no project.
Two weeks before shipping... a complete redesign may be needed. Possibly dumping files into an http directory, setting up an extended VPN, listening at several dedicated ports (mapped to IP addresses or devices)... I'm freezing all travel plans and funds transfers until/unless the firewall issue is resolved. Stalemate.
At least our missing ATV and parts were found today. They had been in a San Jose warehouse for 5 days. I wouldn't recommend ABF Trucking... grr.
