Mac, and Matt.  This is an easy question to answer.

You stop doing it when it stops being fun and becomes a job.  I built
five 100' towers this Summer.

 Gino,


   That's a question that Larsen and I have been hunting an answer to for a
 couple years. We both said we were going to sit back and collect some of
our
 initial investments back over a year ago. I know Larsen is still hanging
 gear in every town along the 3 States he borders (get 'em son) and also
 created one of the longest production wireless backhaul links (60+
miles)
 of anybody anywhere that I am aware of. I too have built 7 new towers in
the
 last few months and built out about a dozen new towns and gone to all
fiber.


 My point is this - - - it's a vicious circle! When is enough - enough? We
 get a new tower up and swear this is the last, but from that tower there
 is another community that is yet without internet connectivity and just
one
 more little hop will get them caught! It's a never ending story - - -
looks
 like we need a wireless anonymous group to help us break the cycle!!

  If you find the cure - - send Larsen and myself a double dose.

 Ditto, and we make enough profit to roll the profit back into our
 business in network upgrades, etc.

 If I stopped my upgrades and just collected money, I could lay someone

Re: [WISPA] ot, private chat

2006-12-19 Thread Pete Davis
http://hamachi.cc has a an application with a private chat. That is a 
side feature in their product. The main app is a P2P VPN application 
that works actually very well. Everyone in your Hamachi group (up to 16 
nodes in free version, 254 in the $40/yr version) can share 
files/printers and chat as if they were in the same physical LAN. A nice 
configuration-less VPN.


The Nat/Nat Transversal trick: The Hamachi company (now owned by 
logmein.com) has the 5.0.0.0/8 subnet and every Hamachi user tunnels in 
and gets a 5.x.x.x IP address. The Hamachi software handles the 
encryption and authentication, and only uses the 5.x.x.x subnet for 
VPN'ing.

Re: [WISPA] Email a Critical Service? was: A wisp who went a little too far.......

2006-12-19 Thread Pete Davis
Okay, lets say that the pay-per-email program costs $0.02 to send a 
message. $0.01 goes to the domain registration owner of the receiving 
domain, and $0.01 goes to the recipient. That 100,000,000 Spam messages 
that my Barracuda blocked would be worth $1M, if I had let them go 
through in that scenario, and most/many of my users would have enough 
spam credit to not have to pay their invoice for a few years. The 
reality: all you have to pay for is bandwidth. There is no logistically 
feasible way (that I can see) to put a $0.02 charge on someone/everyone 
sending an email.


If paper/printing was free the US Postal service allowed ANYONE to send 
ANYTHING for FREE (like the way email works) then a dump truck of junk 
mail would be backing up to your door every morning. The junk mail 
advertisers paying $0.17 for bulk mail actually subsidizes the $0.39 
that we pay for first class email. Without a bulk mail discount, first 
class mail would be costing us $2/letter or more.

If email becomes that important then your business becomes worth more money.
I welcome it personally. Obviously we will all need to investigate ways of
creating a more stable email environment than we have now. I think we will
need to consider developing a pay per email 
platform where messages are billable. This goes both ways. It fixes the spam

issue also. This is our chance to become as important to the American public
as the delivery of first class mail. This is important to discuss and
debate. What is better? Email is not important or is vitally important?

The really interesting part of this:


The attack cut off service for one woman who was waiting for an 
e-mail notifying her about the availability of an organ transplant 
that she required, according to prosecutors. Because of her

her

provider gave her priority status and restored her access within 24

hours.
Had her medical providers sent her an e-mail notifying her of a 
suitable organ donor and had she not responded because of her lost 
Internet access, she might have lost her priority for an organ, 
thus potentially extending the period she would have to wait for 
another donor, wrote prosecutors in the indictment.


   People are starting to believe their email is guaranteed and 
that their computers can be entrusted with life saving information. 
Worse yet, it appears these prosecutors would have trumped this up 
and made hay out of it had her mail not gotten there. So in another 
context - what if the stock pump and dump scammers started using 
wrapper text that mentioned organ donations to the point of poisoning 
the Bayesian databases of all spamassassin enabled mail servers? What 
if the mail has been blocked outright due to other spam filtering 
already in place? Or put into a quarantine and she didn't look in her 
quarantine box in time? Or if the sending server of the mail was on 
an RBL due to some other user at the site sending spam to spamcop 
spamtraps for example?


   Drama is drama. I think what this guy did was reprehensible 
and he certainly deserves the clink, but what he did is not any kind 
of threat or risk to health and safety - the stupidity of using email 
and computers for life saving communications IS.

However, now I have more pipes to fills, and can still follow that advice on 
a larger scale.
Now I can serve 90% of the leads that come in with little new cost, apposed 
to 10% of the leads at a high cost.

There is the hope (and the hype) that this prospect will be the first of 
many - and the footprint is extended.


I don't see fiber providers selling deep. I don't see many WISP selling 
deep either.

The cash flow comes from filling the pipe.

That's my 2 cents.

have, we can truthfully look at the big picture and say that our company 
is better off with the tower than without, from an evaluation/financial 
point of view.  If a move brings a company in a positive direction, why 
not do it?  The new tower never costs as much as the early ones. 
Everytime a new tower is built, new opportunity gets created, but old 
costs get shared, such as the upfront fixed costs of backbone transit 
bandwdith and primary overhead office staff.  In this business, its hard

Re: [WISPA] Form 477 Confidentiality Challenged in Court

2006-12-19 Thread Tom DeReggi
I'm glad this is being taken to court. One of the reasons many WISPs don't 
file still (even though legally required to), is because they are afraid 
that the information will be shared with someone that will result in a 
negative effect, whether its the tax collector or competitors.  Proving that 
this information can or can not be kept confidential will take a load off 
the mind of parties that are obligated to file.  Hopefully, the FCC will be 
victorious and not need to disclose the information.

Confidential Treatment Of The Information Submitted

This Public Notice notifies all filers who sought confidential treatment of
their Form 477

information that the public release of this information is being sought. The
following litigation is pending

in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia: Center for Public
Integrity v. Federal

initiated this action under the

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, seeking
release of all FCC Form 477s

filed with the Commission. The Wireline Competition Bureau previously denied
plaintiff's FOIA request

for these records, pursuant to FOIA exemption 4, because it found that the
requested records contain

commercially sensitive, competitive information and that release would cause
harm to the entities that

submitted the requested information. The plaintiff has filed for de novo
review of its request by the U.S.

District Court. The Commission's brief in this proceeding is due to be filed
with the court on January 8,

2007.

[WISPA] Building WARboard radios

2006-12-19 Thread Tom DeReggi
On average, how long does it take, to build a WAR/rootenna radio system, 
start to finish.
Or I should say, how much time should the manager allocate for the process 
to be complete by their techs.

Lets define some common variables
Say the tech is building 5 at a time, of the same configuration.
Assume that its mounting equipment that does not come as a complete kit, 
meaning the follow ing variable could occurs

Need to find the correct standoffs.
Net to cut sheet metal and drill holes for backplane.
Need to power up and teset radio.
Boards are WAR board preloaded with Firmware.

PS. The WAR boards have narrower diameter mounting hole, and the typical 
coarse thread gold PC stand-offs are to wide and thread into the hole in 
appropriately.
Any one have a source for the fine thread narrower diameter standoffs and 
nuts?

Hi All,

A few years back, there was a program called Blab-it.  It was a private chat

system.  I have a couple of corporate customers that are interested in a 
Yahoo or MSN Messenger type application but they want it isolated to their 
own network (including remote offices) and they want better security.

Anyone know of such a beast?  I could probably handle something that rides

they are mostly after.

Re: [WISPA] salary

2006-12-19 Thread Frank Muto
Thought I would throw this out about the GAO's report on company formations. 
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06376.pdf


This may or not be relevant to the topic at hand, but may be parallel 
information to be aware of.


Cliff note summary from the report.

Why the study:
Companies form the basis of most commercial and entrepreneurial activities 
in market-based economies; however, shell companies, which have no 
operations, can be used for illicit purposes such as laundering money. Some 
states have been criticized for requiring minimal ownership information to 
form a U.S. company, raising concerns about the ease with which companies 
may be used for illicit purposes. In this report, GAO describes (1) the 
kinds of information each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia and 
third party agents collect on companies, (2) law enforcement concerns about 
the use of companies to hide illicit activity and how company information 
from states and agents helps or hinders investigations, and (3) implications 
of requiring states or agents to collect company ownership information.


What the GAO found:
Most states do not require ownership information at the time a company is 
formed, and while most states require corporations and limited liability 
companies (LLC) to file annual or biennial reports, few states require 
ownership information on these reports. With respect to the formation of 
LLCs, four states require some information on members, who are owners of the 
LLC. Some states require companies to list the names and addresses of 
directors, officers or managers on filings, but these persons may not own 
the company. Nearly all states screen company filings for statutorily 
required information, but none verify the identities of company officials. 
Third-party agents may submit formation documents to the state on a company's 
behalf, usually collecting only billing and statutorily required information 
for formations. These agents generally do not collect any information on 
owners of the companies they represent, and instances where agents told us 
they verified some information were rare.

RE: [WISPA] Form 477 Confidentiality Challenged in Court

2006-12-19 Thread Forbes Mercy
I remember once when a big corporation, to remain nameless, offered to buy me 
for a nice chunk of change then after we signed the NDA and they looked at my 
numbers they never called me or returned our calls again.  Mind you are the 
largest ISP in my town so it wasn't for lack of numbers.  They simply wanted to 
know how much business was in my town so they could justify whether they would 
come here and take us out.  The Form 477 is just another way for corporations 
to see how strong your market is so they can have you essentially research for 
them the feasibility for them to come spend three million (just a vague 
reference not a real number - you'll see if you read the rant) to run you out 
of business.

I'm done on the form 477 comment  but in a tell us how you really feel 
rambling (as Marlon would say) here is what I think of our competition:  
rantThe new corporate motto is, 'Why buy an existing customer base for a 
million when we can come to their market and spend three million in advertising 
or free/under cost services to force them out.'  It's not naievety by the 
government either they know that corporations are basically greedy and corrupt 
but they donate well to political figures so if they have to do anything they 
can to please their stockholders more power to them.   Letters to the FTC, or 
Justice department asking for investigations of these many unethical acts are 
all unanswered during a Republican Adminstration. We're all old enough to 
remember when Republicans were the friend of small business, doesn't seem that 
long ago.   Oh sure they have small business loans out there but now you have 
to hire their buddies as Consultants for 1/4 of the loan value in order to fill 
out the overly difficult forms.   Government is just as unethical so how are 
they going to set the example for American corporations.

Service or community responsibilty is a luxury from them not like us who use it 
as our foundations.   That is why those two traits are the only thing that keep 
small business alive for those few customers who want to pay less at the cost 
of being on hold for 1/2 hour for service they don't get anyway.   Look at 
Charter Cable, Paul Allen needed a write-off for his huge profits on Microsft, 
got it by writing off investors losses as his own so he didn't have to acutally 
spend that money!  Or Clearwire which is Craig McCaws write-off dupped Intel 
and Microsoft into bailing his failing venture out.   

Neither give a damn about their customers other then they pay their bill so the 
stockholders don't sue them for making their stock (in Charter's case) go from 
$30 to a buck or so.  I can't believe I'm admitting it but I think Bill Gates 
is much more of a 'True American' then either of those other scum I mentioned.  
 At least he uses his write-off for good.   Even if Windows is a crappy 
program, it did bring the world into the computer age so good for him which 
made them customers of ours, well until Allen or McCaw steals them to the tune 
of another billion dollar or more loss. /end rant

It's been a while since I have seen a 25 pair Cat5 cable, don't know
if the slate pair is in there or not, I know it is for 25 pair
telecom feeders, but those are usually Cat3 rated.  If not, then you
simply ignore that pair.

Anyhow, for larger count cables.  Each 25 pair group should be wrapped
with blue, orange, green, brown and slate colored binder string.
The first 25 pair is blue, the next would be orange, then green, brown
and slate accordingly.

and then there are super groups... which is getting way off Topic. hehe

[WISPA] Want a portable tower ?

2006-12-19 Thread Rick Smith
I've got two of these, exactly the same.  They're really stable.  I've never
measured them, but they say they go about 20' into the air.  I am 6' and
this one's about 2x over my head.  I'd say around 15' or so, and there's
still a lot to crank up on it.

Got bored the other day, so I raised some Christmas lights :)

They cost about $1k each, and about $250 to ship together to me from Texas,
about 2 yrs ago.

We never used 'em, as I never had the time / cash to get together a trailer
to mount 'em to.

Name me a price offlist, and I'll make a deal.  They're both in perfect
working condition.

The Center for Public Integrity is suing under FOIA (Freedom of

that the broadband data that the FCC reports is true and they want to 
add that raw data to their media report at

Re: [WISPA] building out

2006-12-19 Thread Peter R.

My best tip:
Go to Amazon.com or BN.com and search for Jeffrey Gitomer
Pick either the Sales Bible, the Little Red Book of Sales Answers, or 
his DVD, How to Not Suck at Sales.

Best sales trainer in the business.

Another book would be Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling by Keith Rosen  (not 
all about cold calling but about all aspects of selling).


Take training at Sandlers Sales or with me or with a business coach like 
Keith Rosen.

This Public Notice notifies all filers who sought confidential treatment of

following litigation is pending

in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia: Center for Public

commercially sensitive, competitive information and that release would cause
harm to the entities that

submitted the requested information. The plaintiff has filed for de novo

with the court on January 8,

2007.

[WISPA] Strange network issues crosspost

2006-12-19 Thread Chadd Thompson
Sorry to cross post this guys but I am looking for suggestions and wasn't
sure if everyone is on both lists.


I have been having an intermittent problem the last few days. A few of my
AP's and CPE's will stop responding. These are a mixture of brands, Trango,
MT, Brilan, they are on different network segments, different frequencies. 

The strange thing that not all the radios on the segment will have problems
only some, and even more odd is that an AP can stop responding but you can
still access some of the CPE's associated with it and they will pass traffic
fine. In any case a reboot of the backhaul that feeds each individual
segment will bring them all back up again for a random amount of time. I
have checked the BH links when things start going haywire and can't seem to
find any issues, no oddball traffic, packets per second seem fine. Also my
ARP tables seem to be fine when this happens, but I haven't tried to flush
my ARP when I have the issue.

Everything is currently and has been for 4 yrs bridged and it is getting
to the point where I need to break down and start setting up routing at each
of my POPs. I had thought it may be a bridge loop, but if that was the case
I wouldn't think the segment would operate fine for a while after a Backhaul
reboot.

I am looking for suggestions of other things I may/should be checking and or
looking at.

Thanks,
Chadd

It's been a while since I have seen a 25 pair Cat5 cable, don't know
if the slate pair is in there or not, I know it is for 25 pair
telecom feeders, but those are usually Cat3 rated.  If not, then you
simply ignore that pair.

Anyhow, for larger count cables.  Each 25 pair group should be wrapped
with blue, orange, green, brown and slate colored binder string.
The first 25 pair is blue, the next would be orange, then green, brown
and slate accordingly.

and then there are super groups... which is getting way off Topic. hehe

 You'd have it punched in a block at the top and bottom

RE: [WISPA] Strange network issues crosspost

2006-12-19 Thread Todd Barber
Chadd,

We experienced similar issues when our network was entirely bridged.  The
root of the problem turned out to be the ARP table in the Trangos we were
using as are primary BHs.

Once the number of clients behind the Trangos exceeded a certain limit the
ARP table gets corrupted.  Trango does not have a fix for this issue.

As a temporary fix you can set up a script to reset the ARP table in the
Trangos on a regular basis.  The command line for the 5800 and 5830 units is
maclist reset.

We have moved to a mostly routed network which has greatly reduced the
number of MAC addresses seen by the Trangos.  This fixed the problem.

Sounds like this could be it.

The backhauls are Trango link 10's do you happen to remember what the ARP
limit was that you were having problems with?

Thanks,

 Chadd,

 We experienced similar issues when our network was entirely bridged.  The
 root of the problem turned out to be the ARP table in the Trangos we were
 using as are primary BHs.

 Once the number of clients behind the Trangos exceeded a certain limit the
 ARP table gets corrupted.  Trango does not have a fix for this issue.

 As a temporary fix you can set up a script to reset the ARP table in the
 Trangos on a regular basis.  The command line for the 5800 and
 5830 units is
 maclist reset.

 We have moved to a mostly routed network which has greatly reduced the
 number of MAC addresses seen by the Trangos.  This fixed the problem.

 Sorry to cross post this guys but I am looking for suggestions and wasn't
 sure if everyone is on both lists.


 I have been having an intermittent problem the last few days. A few of my
 AP's and CPE's will stop responding. These are a mixture of
 brands, Trango,
 MT, Brilan, they are on different network segments, different
 frequencies.

 The strange thing that not all the radios on the segment will
 have problems
 only some, and even more odd is that an AP can stop responding but you can
 still access some of the CPE's associated with it and they will
 pass traffic
 fine. In any case a reboot of the backhaul that feeds each individual
 segment will bring them all back up again for a random amount of time. I
 have checked the BH links when things start going haywire and
 can't seem to
 find any issues, no oddball traffic, packets per second seem fine. Also my
 ARP tables seem to be fine when this happens, but I haven't tried to flush
 my ARP when I have the issue.

 Everything is currently and has been for 4 yrs bridged and it is getting
 to the point where I need to break down and start setting up
 routing at each
 of my POPs. I had thought it may be a bridge loop, but if that
 was the case
 I wouldn't think the segment would operate fine for a while after
 a Backhaul
 reboot.

 I am looking for suggestions of other things I may/should be
 checking and or
 looking at.

 Thanks,
 Chadd

http://hamachi.cc has a an application with a private chat. That is a side 
feature in their product. The main app is a P2P VPN application that works 
actually very well. Everyone in your Hamachi group (up to 16 nodes in free 
version, 254 in the $40/yr version) can share files/printers and chat as 
if they were in the same physical LAN. A nice configuration-less VPN.


The Nat/Nat Transversal trick: The Hamachi company (now owned by 
logmein.com) has the 5.0.0.0/8 subnet and every Hamachi user tunnels in 
and gets a 5.x.x.x IP address. The Hamachi software handles the encryption 
and authentication, and only uses the 5.x.x.x subnet for VPN'ing.

It's been a while since I have seen a 25 pair Cat5 cable, don't know
if the slate pair is in there or not, I know it is for 25 pair
telecom feeders, but those are usually Cat3 rated.  If not, then you
simply ignore that pair.

Anyhow, for larger count cables.  Each 25 pair group should be wrapped
with blue, orange, green, brown and slate colored binder string.
The first 25 pair is blue, the next would be orange, then green, brown
and slate accordingly.

and then there are super groups... which is getting way off Topic. hehe

Wholly agree that there are many other religions than Christianity and

freedom of religion.  However, without dispute the reason for the season is
Christmas.  The world stops during these times for no other reason than
Christmas.  Like it or not it really doesn't matter.  That-them-there is the
facts.

Several major big-box retailers found out the hard way last year when they
tried selling Holiday Trees instead of Christmas Trees or greeting with
Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.  

With the greatest of respect Bob, give me a break it is indeed Christmas not
Holidays.

I only make church a couple times a year and even I get it.  grin

Ahh.It's also */hanukkah/* 
http://www.google.com/search?hl=ensa=Xoi=spellresnum=0ct=resultcd=1q=
hanukkahspell=1  
so its not unreasonable to say Happy Holidays.

I celebrate Christmas because I am Christian but there are also other 
holidays during this time of the year so Happy Holidays is not 
unreasonable

As you may know, I am working on several technical training classes, 
including one that covers WISP Basics.  While the focus of this 
class is not exactly what you asked for, it is a good starting 
point.  However, If you'd like, I can put together a manual for you. 
While I'm at it, how many others would be interested in such a 
manual?  If I did this, it would most likely be a video that covers 
such topics as:

* Mounting techniques - rooftop and dss arm type mounts
* Antenna basics - aiming and testing link quality
* Weather proofing - we all know about this
* Cable runs - including basics on how to drill various
materials and where to drill (and not to drill).
Also, drip loops
* Grounding
* Termination of LMR and Ethernet cables
* Testing the final install

This is just off the top of my head, but the real question would be 
(for me), how many would be willing to pay for such a video...and 
what is it worth?

Mac,

We tried that but it didn't totally resolve the issue.  Chadd, I would guess
it was around 100.

Chadd,

We experienced similar issues when our network was entirely bridged.  The
root of the problem turned out to be the ARP table in the Trangos we were
using as are primary BHs.

Once the number of clients behind the Trangos exceeded a certain limit the
ARP table gets corrupted.  Trango does not have a fix for this issue.

As a temporary fix you can set up a script to reset the ARP table in the
Trangos on a regular basis.  The command line for the 5800 and 5830 units is
maclist reset.

We have moved to a mostly routed network which has greatly reduced the
number of MAC addresses seen by the Trangos.  This fixed the problem.

Subject: [WISPA] Strange network issues crosspost

Sorry to cross post this guys but I am looking for suggestions and wasn't
sure if everyone is on both lists.


I have been having an intermittent problem the last few days. A few of my
AP's and CPE's will stop responding. These are a mixture of brands, Trango,
MT, Brilan, they are on different network segments, different frequencies. 

The strange thing that not all the radios on the segment will have problems
only some, and even more odd is that an AP can stop responding but you can
still access some of the CPE's associated with it and they will pass traffic
fine. In any case a reboot of the backhaul that feeds each individual
segment will bring them all back up again for a random amount of time. I
have checked the BH links when things start going haywire and can't seem to
find any issues, no oddball traffic, packets per second seem fine. Also my
ARP tables seem to be fine when this happens, but I haven't tried to flush
my ARP when I have the issue.

Everything is currently and has been for 4 yrs bridged and it is getting
to the point where I need to break down and start setting up routing at each
of my POPs. I had thought it may be a bridge loop, but if that was the case
I wouldn't think the segment would operate fine for a while after a Backhaul
reboot.

I am looking for suggestions of other things I may/should be checking and or
looking at.

Thanks,
Chadd

 Hi,
 
 Does anyone have a simple wireless installation training manual 
 already put together? We are finally to the point we need to have 
 something for the new hires, but I want to see if anyone has something 
 they want to share?
