Hire an attorney, get copies of what customers signed from an existing customer of his. Give it to the attorney along with the brief letter you got from the guy saying he was calling it quits. I see no need to let the CPE go to waste if you can make it work provided there is no legal / civil

Just remember that he said he leased the CPE, so it is not his...or yours to claim. The lease holder would seem to have rights to claim it. I can't imagine the leaseholder actually doing that though, so maybe you can work a deal with the leasholder. Patrick Leary AVP WISP Markets Alvarion, Inc.

No, you tempoarailly use those CPEs, to quickly get the subs re-installed. The CPEs are owned by the leasing company, and assuming them is theft. Do your best to find out who the leasor is, and call them to negotiate buying them on a percentage of the dollar, or take over remaining lease

I think I can answer why I like freebsd. Stability. Uptime for months at a time. Most of the problems that I have had with my Freebsd servers have been when I was doing something stupid that I now know better. Also, it may be used completely free of charge, even if it is used commercially.

If you can find out what is needed to allow access from the existing CPE's, I believe that you can allow access to YOUR bandwidth, and charges those who want to use your service, regardless of who may own the CPE. Now, if you want to own the CPE, you need to find out who owns the CPE. If there

You are exactly right. There are good linux distros out there. I have used several of them. Some are great desktop OS's. Some are good for the small footprint. Some are great for making bootable CD's to run antivirus/data recovery apps, and some are great for making roll-your-own routers and
