Not to disparage you excellent ideas, but me-myself-and-I cannot marshall a fiber optic link or microwave shot. I'm thinking along the lines of maybe 4 times a year, heading out to a remote area and calling people over a ham radio for practice. I envision this requiring coordination with several other people at most. Being ad hoc, adaptable, quick, mobile, and red-tape-less are my goals. > > my 0.02 Worth a good bit more than that, indeed. -- Mike _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
