Apologies if I missed something. Been very busy with work for a while now.
Anyway, I saw that Supratim offered a way to connect. How has this gone? 
Are you online yet, or still working on it?
Where are you located? It might be that Supratim is a good point for you 
to connect to, or we might want to find someone closer. Supratim is on 
the US east cost, unless my memory fails me.

As for node numbers, we might want to set aside a small range for you. 
So my first question would be if you need a small set of numbers within 
an existing area, or an area of your own? Area 1 is where Supratim is 
in, so if you connect through him we'd allocate some numbers in this 
area. But we first need to establish to where you connect, and some 
basic needs. And then we figure out the next bits.
