If it is necessary the consultant could travel directly to the access point for the consultation.

HECA �Povolzje� technical support group consists of volunteers.

The group staff consists of system administrator, Web-consultant, Web-designer, database specialist. The following works are supported: hardware mounting, dial-up connection, homepages creation, consultation on e-mail, work with databases, software consulting. Both on-site and phone (8462 332508) consultations are realised.
