Hi Lee, 

Apologies for the late response...long weekend :)

First, you would need to install the LDM, please see:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/

Second, once we can verify (see you electronically) your LDM is up and running 
we will contact SUNY-Albany on your behalf.

Someone at Harvard had the LDM running in the past, but that machine is no 
longer reachable, it was:
        
levantine.harvard.edu

administered by:
Nick Dechman    
ndechman|a_t-s_i_g_n|pacific.harvard.edu        
617-495-3457

..not really an issue (as that machine is no longer alive), more of an fyi...it 
is always best to be prudent with bandwidth, so we prefer not to have multiple 
LDM's requesting externally.

Let us know when you have the LDM up and running (should not take more than 
10-30 minutes)and then let us know the IP # and FQDN of the machine the LDM is 
running on,  and we will proceed from there.

If you encounter problems installing the LDM, please send your questions to:

address@hidden

...or just respond to this message once you are ready to begin ingest of the 
NLDN data feed.

Cheers,

Jeff
