Hello again...

Just a quick update. ASMT has been working on several local yachts for Internet Communications Services and other General Computer Services. I have mentioned on the main web page that ASMT now offers Laptop Repair Services for Yachts so you may be interested in that. ASMT is also, as always, doing a number of remote consultations by telephone and email. If you've got an problem or something that you need to accomplish related to marine communications, particularly related to satellite - cellular - wifi - and onboard networking (sharing Internet on the yacht) then you could contact me about it. I offer a very reasonable yearly consulting and support agreement that will consolidate the costs down to one very reasonable dollar amount.

ASMT has had server troubles in the past couple of weeks. A server suffered thermal CPU related shutdown problems and was taken offline. We throttled right away over to the backup server as soon as we became aware of the problem. The primary server CPU thermal problem was solved with a new CPU cooler, burn-in tested for 24 hours, and was just put back online. So we are back up on the primary server with the backup server still humming away ready to take over if neccessary. There are also more computers available here also in standby in case we need to do anything else to remain online. So we will not normally ever go down. We host our own web sites so we don't share server power or bandwidth with anyone else. We can also respond quicker to problems because the gear is right here. It also keeps us sharp as to how Internet, Server, and Networking things work.

Anyway... if anyone notices anything wrong, or out of date, please drop me a line and let me know.

Thanks,
