I thought I would ping the list again on this. DSL not available, couldn't
find anyone thus far to do wireless, Comcast has a 2 month lead time and
will require two accounts to take the construction cost from $6k to $0.

Agree. Tyan and SuperMicro are almost bullet-proof!
But, read the docs before you set them up!

Hi All,
Other than the fact that I was driving and talking, sounding like a 10 year
old, this article turned out great! Lisa didn't twist anything around.

I'm looking for a good inexpensive POE surge protector. The AC/DC Adaptor
has an I/P: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 1.2A. O/P is 24V 1.5A.

The Pacific Wireless ones have worked well for me:

LOL I've just been redeploying those in ptp mode for customers down in the
holes. Use them for mini repeater systems. Too bad none of the new gear
seems to be half the quality of those units.

Ralph - I do believe Butch has a valid point here. If you are using an
Orinoco AP with your own DIY setup (sounds like you are) - I hardly think
you're legal. So why does the pot call the kettle black in this or any other

I would check pigtails and jumpers or possibly a radio card replacement
just to be sure. I have had good luck with MT as APs using both atheros
based cards as well as prism based cards. All clients radios were prism
based (CB3, Tranzeo). The RB200 boards have seemed a little more solid,
but

Hey... I just found a drawer-full of old WaveLan 900mhz ISA cards in our
office... I think we paid $400 each back in 1997. Imagine getting 1Mbps
(best case) and only using the ENTIRE 900mhz band. ;)

Why are you twisting my words, Johnny?
I never mentioned a word about having DIY. I said the WISPA DIY was a pipe
dream because I know the FCC and how they do things.
We do not have any DIY in our WISP and never have. Our RF is all Canopy,
Deliberant, and Tranzeo.
We use certified gear along

Of course you can build a radio kit from Ramsey, but you won't be using it
on commercial frequencies. You know that's what I was talking about.
You don't put Ramsey in the same category as Moto, Kenwood and Icom.

Interesting, unless my math is off that is averaging approx 37 customers
per AP (mesh router) and 3.5MBps or 28Mbps average network usage. That
seems a bit low for 15k customers considering I know WISPs with 1.2K
customers that average half that.

Ralph, does it help that we're talking about a certified operator program?
Not just allowing anyone to mix and match anything they want. Basically
we'd create a new licensed unlicensed operator.
What's the down side?

The downside may be that creating such a licensed operator program may
not be feasible and could possibly attract attention (negative
attention) to the WISP industry. I am not saying that is how it would
go. I am just saying that there needs to be more thought given to this
idea of a licensed
