Ethernet is not feasible.
I have only a few machines a max of 6' apart.
My usage would typically be peer-to-peer but I want to communicate

My web connectivity is via a T-Mobile WiFi Hotspot (WiFi turned off).
I run Debian and all software must be in their repository.
I've just begun reading - primarily Wikipedia articles and some links
