Has anyone seen the Robert X Cringley site? He's doing stuff w/ 802.11b. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010712.html
The synopsis: he's using satellite & can't get DSL or Cable modem. So he finds someone (using a telescope) that can get DSL, gets *them* a connection, then uses 802.11b (WiFi) with some directional antennas to connect to the DSL. He's got some further info on using a booster antenna to go around an obstacle & hooking into a Starbucks' wireless LAN. There are also some groups trying to do community 802.11b networks in Cambridge and Londonderry, NH. I forgot the web site :-( This kind of stuff with NAT firewalls has some of the cable & DSL companies upset. -- ------- Tom Buskey ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
