a lot of the cluster's colonys can be joined with digital radio network cluster to cluster communication is via satellite
in storms the satellites well not be able to communicate to the cluster's transceiver dish for 24 / 48 hours even more ----- Original Message ---- From: David Scheidt <[email protected]> To: The GURPSnet mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 27 December, 2008 2:16:23 AM Subject: Re: [gurps] Internet on blue planet and like worlds On Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 10:51 AM, Bret Indrelee <[email protected]> wrote: > On Dec 26, 2008, at 4:24 AM, Tom Sparks wrote: >> >> i am borrowing ideas from Interplanetary Internet >> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Internet), BBS >> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system) and fidoNet >> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet) > > If you want some other background for solutions used in the bad old days of > modems and long distance charges, I would suggest you read up on UUCP (Unix > to Unix Copy) which was used to forward newsfeeds and e-mail.
