All ok, but you probably did not notice that all the
hardware for the high speed links like 1,2288 Mbps
is very expensive! And not publically accessible!
If I want to have 1M2 link I have to produce it
by myself. I can't buy it! But I want to! Where
can I buy _complete_ 1M2 link to use it at my gateway?
I'm not electronics engineer and don't have special
hardware and elements needed to made these very
precision 10 GHz or even 23cm radios. I tried to
talk with Matjaz via packet but he is very busy,
and his friend told me: "Everything is on the WWW".
I was confused :( And this is probably one and only
reason that in Europe are still ancient 1k2 links,
the old 9k6 and sometime 14k4/19k2 realised with
the same DF1IC's 9k6 modems. People have money,
collected by themself, but there is impossible to
spent it for hardware which is described but this
is only what is made about it. I want to buy 1M2 link
like people buys refrigerators, TV, and other equipment.
And of course hardware is not enough! Hardware should
coexist with good software made for it. If I hear
"SuperVozelj" I don't know what is it! How connect
my PC to it ? Can I ftp to Linux connected on the
other end? Can I play mp3's over this link? The only
message from SuperVozelj I saw was hundreds of Klice's,
what it if for ? I sit on my 1k2 flexnet node and
watching what SuperVozelj is, and suddently when
trying to connect my screen flooded with this Klice's.
Why SuperVozelj is not translated to english? I'll be
happy when see 'Connected', not 'Klice' and only one,
not one hundred! :))
This is my opinion for Packet Radio in Europe, now.
PR, where are you going to... ?
