Fake mesh over IP.

2007-12-04 Thread Ian Stirling
Is there any fake mesh-over-ip protocol? Basically if - as with most of the G1G1 laptops - you're out of range of any other laptops, is there any way to fake a mesh? For example, you enter a (perhaps fake) lat/lon, and a you get a virtual radio that has a 100Km range.
