Re: [WISPA] VPN's
Ran into the Citrix problem a long time ago. Most data programs are sensitive to dropped packets. The problem with Citrix is that the packets were small. The program was written to work as a database across a local area network. Once WANs became common and the databases were centralized I think the programmers modified the code. Is someone running an old LAN version of Citrix?

Re: [WISPA] VPN's
We had the same issues with Citrix on Canopy. IIRC it was with older Citrix platforms. Generally VPN should work with a static IP - VPN is not happy behind Double NAT. QoS priority on the VPN at the customer router will help - paticularly if they have any heavy pps programs running.

Re: [WISPA] Mountain Top Grounding
All of my sites are like that. Your real ground is the Power company neutral. They pound a rod at every meter, transformer, and splice box. Each pole also has a copper plate on the bottom with the weight of the pole on it. All the way back to Hoover Dam. Drive the ground rods at a little bit of an angle, drive lots of them, one at each Tower leg and each corner of the building. Connect them all together in a circle (Halo.) Try to route the #4 copper ground wire inside the building so it is hard to steal. Cad weld it if you can. Use a rod driver, looks like a fence post driver, if one only goes 1/2 way use it anyway. Cut it off and sharpen the end with a grinder and drive the other half. The tower set in concrete is also ground, connect it in the Halo along with every conduit that is nearby. Ground is ground the world around. D. Ryan Spott wrote: I have a site I am putting in on a mountain-top consisting of stacked rocks. Well, they were stacked by glaciers, Techtonic movements, Paul Bunyan etc... Mostly 6-30 across with bedrock downthere somewhere. Do any of you have a site like this?

Re: [WISPA] Mountain Top Grounding
The standard approach is to build a ground plane, which can consist of an array of e.g. #12 stranded radiating outward in all directions from the base of your tower, to a distance equal or greater than the height of the tower. You don't have to bury these cables; they can float on or above the dirt as convenient. Tom S. - Original Message - From: D.

Re: [WISPA] Handheld GPS recommendations, anyone?
OK- As long as we are BBSing, I actually wrote the TIBBSR BBS in the early 1980s and ran the Flagship TIBBS from my home near Atlanta. I believe that in its heyday, there were over 100 systems running around the US. Even though Texas Instruments said that a TI-99/4 could not operate that way, I obtained all the manuals for the communication and video chips they used and wrote routines to do all the serial I/O and storage. The system could remotely identify other TIs and close the door on those Rataris, Commode-Door Ick 20's and Rotten Apples if the Sysop chose to. Your terminal also spoke to you and welcomed you to the system if you had the speech synthesizer. All this in 24K of BASIC programming and 8K of 9900 Assembly language. Frank, also of Brightlan, was behind the FJJ real time clock/calendar card that was marketed for the TI. Some stuff about TIBBS is here: http://ralphfowler.com/ti994a.html Those were good times.

[WISPA] BBS'n
Oh, god no! I bought so much TRS-80 crap that in 1998, the manager of my local Radio Shack called me up and asked me to come over. They were under orders to clean out the stock room of old stuff and he had a pile of new in the box TRS-80's and all sorts of odd ball accessories. Mine for free he said, he was told to destroy and dispose of it. Wasn't much use to me then, heck, it was 1998 for Pete's sake.
