[EUG-LUG:222] Re: Community Networks/bandwidth

[Ben Barrett]

It seems sane to try to enforce a minimum bandwidth to maintain
available, assuming the net is "up" -- say 5 or 10 kbps??
that way, most folks would realize that dialup is not so bad,
and the new wireless net would not get flooded by residential
users... but its PLENTY fast for a telnet/shell connexion.

When you say, "get UO to support it", do you mean having them give more
of their Internet^2/OC3???
I think they're very gracious as it is; there are few universities
that do not REQUIRE authentication just to surf...
And their wireless coverage DOES reach off-campus!
What are we asking for?
I'm asking for the right to share my connection at home --
UOnet's policy, afaik, does not allow that.
