You guys are lucking, I think. Wireless doesn't work in my house. My house is Tempest certified and that is really strange because it was built before Tempest standards were thought of. Signals won't go from room to room much less across the house or outside. Wireless will work in a single room but whats the purpose in that? The reason is that it has medal lath (s) in all the walls (old fashion horse hair plaster(concrete)). It's really fun trying to run new wire. You need a jack-hammer just to punch a hole in it.
Will Lowe Question for Dustin. Are you going to be at NetSec Monday? My daughter and I are coming down for it and I was hoping to meet you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "will hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 2:42 PM Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Deep Dish Cylindrical Parabolic Template > On 2003.06.20 13:59 John Hebert wrote: > > Yes, I was planning to use my laptop and PDA while sitting on the deck next > > to the pool, so the location is fixed.

My father in law has his on the second floor of his house and I can pick it up 300 feet away from his house, though it can't get through the big camper in his garage. > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
