I was told $290 for 900 gear by trango and it might be out by the
middle to end of April.





 





Double radius told me 212.50 for Moto 900 cpe available by the end of
March.





 





Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Tranzeo announced at EC-Expo that they will have a 900mhz CPE/AP

hear a price quote, but knowing how efficient Tranzeo is, I'm guessing 
it will be under $350 in 20 pack quantities.

FWIW, I heard several reports from different people that the SR9 miniPCI 
900mhz card is vaporware, and it is going to be six months or more 
before it will be readily available.

RE: [WISPA] [Fwd: Durbin introduces bill to encouragehighspeedinternet access in rural areas]

[Chadd Thompson]

IMO they need to start giving money to the end users to pay for hookup and
installation. Stop paying to expand WISP's networks and give the money where
it is needed, if you want a bigger network pay for it out of your own
pocket. In IL I doubt you could drive from Chicago to St.Louis and not be
able to hook up to a WISP.


Give money to the people who need to put up a 45ft tower to get access.

RE: [WISPA] Tower contract / Revenue Share / Discounted Services

[Chadd Thompson]

Title: Tower contract / Revenue Share / Discounted Services








The problem with this in our area is that
generally they want more per month for rental that we would generate for subs
off a tower. They think we are similar to cell companies and have deep pockets,
not realizing that we may only serve 30 customers off of a single tower.

Or even better is to just pay a flat monthly rate
regardless of customers, etc.

It's really none of their business how many customers you have on a tower, or
how much they are generating, etc. We ONLY pay a monthly rental fee.

Johnny,





    If you can get away
from the revenue share try to. If they want in on the action maybe set up a
flat rate per customer added to that site. The reason for this would be that if
you need to increase your ARPU you can raise the price and not have an
increased expense for doing so, your expense to the tower owner stays the same.
In my cellular days the carriers would never do a revenue share with
landowners or tower owners. When it was a sticking point in the negotiations it
could be overcome most times by finding some point (in this case per customer)
to increase the payment on a more fixed rate. If you were to ever try and sell
your business this puts you in a much more favorable position than having
revenue sharing. Revenue sharing creates a situation where you might have to
open your books to this landowner so he can audit to see if he is getting his
proper payments, whereas all you need to do for a per customer rate is do a
dump from something like your Radius server or the access point itself to have
all the accounting information necessary. Just an idea and a useless one if you
have already committed to this deal.

Have a company that

internet services. What we negotiated was - they pay for ALL costs including
backhaul, 3 2.4ghz sectors, tower costs / installation costs.

We get exclusive rights to the tower. They get 20% revenue
share from any customers being served directly off of the tower, and they
receive 50% off of their monthly service fees.

Does anyone have a contract that would cover part or all of
what was stated ?

A rural water district cuts through the center of our

sits 2 Mhz off them.  That was the only slot available on that tower, so
we cant really move without major disruption.  Their system only works on
916.5  Has anyone had to work through this?  If you have can you hit

Yep.  An afterthought hardware workaround.  Thought the same thing but
messy.  Would be slick to redirect the energy with a click of the mouse

dismissed by those who were blinded by the glory.  It just makes logical

You are going to eat up both H and V polarity and a good majority of your

300 meg association rate, closer to 130 - 150 actual throughput, at the AP,
not at the CPE.  I'd say probably no more than 30 customers per AP.  You
might have usable throughput at the end of that.  :-p

Re: [WISPA] IPPay Code 012 Declines

[Chadd Thompson]

We haven't seen any declines through IP pay here but we use k-billing for
credit card and virtual terminal for our ACH recurring payments. It seems
kind of fishy that you can process them with VT but not your normal billing
software. On a side note Virtual terminal does have recurring billing set up
in it, you still have to manually tell it to run all the recurring charges
but at least you don't have to do them individually.

Re: [WISPA] Platypus Pricing Change / Free version

[Chadd Thompson]

Chuck,

 

I think I asked you this when we spoke on the phone a while back but do you
have Plat tied back into your network through radius? Or were you waiting
for V7 to come out?

RE: [WISPA] Attempted hack, what would you do?

[Chadd Thompson]

Happens every day on our network. I get about 500 to 1000 hits a day on our
servers/router logs of ppl port scanning and or running log in scripts
trying to crack a username/pass. I have only turned a few in to thier ISP's
abuse address and never heard anything from it except for a canned message
here and there. Doesn't seem like anyone cares. Most hack attempts come from
SBC DSL or china it seems.

As far as I know I have only been hacked once, and it was my own fault. I
had a FreeBSD box that I was doing some testing on and I forgot about it and
left it on the Public side of the network. I had set up a user account with
the same username and Pass.Well someone ran a script on it and got in the
server. I didn't realize it until my MRTG router graph went crazy for a day
with a large amount of traffic. I tracked it down to the box I forgot about
and figured out what happened. They were uploading a bunch of stuff to the
box through FTP. I did turn them into thier ISP but never heard anything
from it.

RE: [WISPA] TRANGO- changes history

[Chadd Thompson]

I am probably far more cynical than most but I really hope that Trango has
made a turn around as a company with the latest round of changes.

I tend to remember the bad things more than the good.

WARNING this is a list of the BAD things!! Good things are at the bottom...

I remember purchasing link 10's as soon as they were released and spending
time on the phone with at the time their rude tech support department trying
to figure out why they were locking up randomly requiring a power cycle to
get them back online. Only to find out from them that I was the only one in
the world having this problem and it must be because I don't know how to
install them. Low and behold a month or so later they release a firmware fix
for the 30 or so Day lock up issue that didn't exist.

I remember fighting with the 58xx form factor units filling up with water
and destroying the ethernet ports on them. Again I spent a lot of time with
the same rude tech support department trying to explain to them that it was
a pressure/temp difference causing water to be pulled into the units. Again
only to be accused of not knowing what I was doing and that I had to be
installing the units upside down. What do you know after fighting with them
about RMA repairs and such on the units they issue a statement about a month
later to not tighten the strain relief all the way on the radio so they
could breath and not pool water on the inside. I spent a Thanksgiving on a
tower because of this.

I remember buying and deploying a 900AP and having pissed off potential
customers because I couldn't get any SU's to do their installs. Also getting
to my 15th SU and trying to figure out why the web interface was hosed and I
couldn't add any more subs to it. Again another firmware fix.

I remember power supplies not having enough output to run the heaters on
longer cable runs and having to buy  new wall worts for some units.

I remember fighting and scrounging trying to find a switch that would
properly work with the ethernet ports on the units.

I remember condensation building up on the inside of the random on 5.x units
causing 30+ db of fade taking out links left and right. This is still an
issue on units I have not replaces with external antennas

I remember prices being jacked around.
The various changes in distribution models and not knowing who I was going
to get units from and how much was I going to have to pay for them.

You know what even after all of this I still buy and deploy some Trango
equipment, but it burns me every time I buy more stuff from them. These
problems would have been much more tolerable if they would have been decent
to work with and not so arrogant about insisting they werent having
problems.

THE GOOD stuff!!!

I also remember setting up my first long BH 14 miles with a Link-10 and
seeing 8ms latency and advertised throughput on the link.

Hooking up a few dozen customers on T900 that I could never touch in the
past with 2.4 or 5.x. I also get better throughput, distance and latency
than with my Alvarion 900 customers, alvarion is a master and noise
avoidance though when compared to T900.

My link-10's just hum right along since the bugs were fixed. Besides the
condensation issue on the INT units.

I do think they are getting a bit better with regards to customer relations
though and their tech support department was very personable and willing to
help out last time I had to call them. So I hope this is a sign of things to
come from them.

I have been beating my head on the wall trying to figure out what equipment
I want to use for a few new POP's this year and admit it would be nice if
Trango pulled it together with a good line up of cost effective, feature
rich and most of all bug free equipment early this year to add to my list of
choices.

Sorry for the rambling
Chadd.

RE: [WISPA] Interested in your experience..

[Chadd Thompson]

Our network is currently made up of

Raylink FHSS
Trango 900
Raylink/Brilan DSSS
Alvarion 900
Trango Link-10

All in all we have had pretty good luck with all of the above once the bugs
were worked out. The real workhorse of our network is Raylink FHSS but we
are starting to move away from it due to the bandwidth limitations of FHSS.
The raylink/brilan DSSS works fairly well but has some minor irritations
with regards to signal strength readouts and I am concerned about future
updates and upgrades from them.

The alvarion 900 works well but is a pain to install.

Trango 900 works well also but offers no indoor installation options and cpe
costs are still high.

We are going to be setting up a few new pops this year and I would like to
try out some new equipment, hopefully something that would work out well
enough to use for upgrading our existing network as time goes by.

I have looked into MT and StarOS due to the ability to be able to keep the
equipment upgraded with software updates and if needed completely replace
the software in the future using the same hardware. I also like the thought
of having one platform that I could use for 2.4, 5.x and 900 in the future.
What I am worried about is going through the hassle of building out all the
CPE's keeping the software up to date and the cost is not all that great. I
also want something that is aesthetically pleasing, rootennas are not all
that attractive. I am also looking for something to put up and forget about.

Demarc stuff looks pretty nice and the price is not bad but I had heard of
some reliability issues in the past, they may have all been taken care of by
now though. I also had a hard time getting a hold of anyone there in the
past when I was considering making a purchase. This may have changed also
its been a while since I called.

Canopy looks attractive do to the one brand all bands and the pricing is
tolerable. I am not sure I like being stuck with Vert polarity, its noisy
here and it kind of scares me going with proprietary equipment.

The Trango 2.4, not really sure why I put this down because it really
doesn't seem competitive cost wise. I am interested in what type of
performance people are getting out of them though and how they are doing in
noisy environments. The 900 is not all that great when it is noisy in my
experience.

I am interested in the waverider for one particular residential area that
would be very nice to have a preconfigured radio for someone to pick up and
do a self install indoors. Getting rid of a truck roll and having to have
something on the outside of the home.

Also looking for a backhaul to try besides the link-10 from trango. Would
like to find something in the 5.8 band with similar throughputand latency of
trango for the same or less $$. This is another reason I thought about MT,
StarOs, Demarc stuff was for multiple radios on the same board so the AP and
BH could be the same piece of hardware and software.

Just looking for some comments in general about the different options and
why you did/didn't pick one over the other.

Thanks,
Chadd

RE: [WISPA] Interested in your experience..

[Chadd Thompson]

We have a lot of fence rows in this area so 900 is going to be a necessary
evil like it or not. I tried using 5.7 Trango for a few installs early on
and just couldn't get any range out of it in this area, and the noise floor
is fairly high in 5.x around here. 

It seems like more and more people are starting up in this area all the time
and the noise floor continues to rise, I would like to find a solution that
does well in noisy environments and maybe even something that uses the
spectrum a bit more efficiently than standard 802.xx. 

Our FHSS has been great as far as noise has been concerned. We have had two
competitors come in and install DSSS 2.4 within a few blocks of our FHSS and
we never saw any difference. They have done installs shooting directly over
the top of our customers on the same polarity and again it just keeps
plugging along. The others in the area definitely don't give a hoot about us
and how could possible affect our service or customers so I need to do what
it takes to keep our network as robust as possible. I wouldn't mind sticking
with FHSS but I just don't see it giving us room to stretch our legs as
customers expect faster and faster connections.

It is starting to work out for us though because we are starting to get
calls from their customers inquiring about switching over to our service
based off of recommendations from their neighbors.

Thanks,
Chadd

Re: [WISPA] FreeBSD hackers.... Needed for WISP related product...

[Chadd Thompson]

How is Nstreme working now days? I have not tried it on anything except PTP
for a few years now. The last time I tried it on an AP it was pretty rough.
Latency was very unstable and throughput wasn't all that great. I had read
that there was a new version in the test package a while back but never got
around to trying it again.

Re: [WISPA] stimulus announcements thus far

[Chadd Thompson]

Just curious but how will this work out for you guys in the end? 

Is it going to just give you guys access to middle mile facilities or is it
going to give you access to wholesale fiber to the home?

The way I see it is in our area if the rural areas ever get FTH most of us
out here are done because there just is no way to compete with fiber in the
wireless world.

I wouldn't see anything good coming out of a government funded FTH project
in IL for the small ISP's. Now if it was just middle mile facilities that
the ISP's could hook into then yeah it would provide a future for us.

Re: [WISPA] iBoot

[Chadd Thompson]

I used a few of these several years ago out of necessity back when I was
using buggy trango Link 10's that had a time based luckup problem. Well they
worked pretty good for a while but I noticed that they kept stealing the IP
address of the server that I was pinging for the keep alive ping and causing
all sorts of problems. I ended up trashing them because of it, they may have
gotten this fixed since then though.

I guess what I am getting at is that you make check to see this isn't why
you can't get into the web interface. Make sure it hasn't stole an IP
address from something else.

It would be possible to get a wireless link off the Sears Tower (no, I won't
say the new name), but a DS3 delivered here is well over $5k.

The provider must always provide you with IPs, assuming you meet
justification.

Re: [WISPA] speaking of ARIN

[Chadd Thompson]

Been there done that.

We were getting double billed for about 8 months because they didn't remove
our billing on some old circuits after they forced us to upgrade from the
old SBC network. We paid it for a few months because our account rep said it
would be fixed and they would credit our account for what we over paid. Well
they didn't get it fixed and we stopped paying it, our account rep assured
us it was nothing to worry about and that it would be taken care of. Well 8
months later the ATT collections dept was calling me saying they were going
to turn us over to an outside collection agency. A quick call to my account
rep and then one to the IL commerce commission had the problem taken care of
in about 2 weeks.

Sounds like you have had similar issues with them but you have no idea how
much grief ATT/SBC has caused me over the last 6 yrs we have been in
business. I wish I could get away from them but at this point in time no one
seems to be able to help us out down here.

[WISPA] OT: sendmail question

[Chadd Thompson]

Does anyone know if it is possible if you are hosting multiple domains on a
single Sendmail server if you can restrict what local users can send and
receive mail to a particular domain instead of everyone on the box being
able to send and receive from all the domains being hosted?

For example, 

You have a local user named bob and you have three domains that your server
handles mail for, say yingyang.com, yoyo.com and jacks.com. You could send
an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
they would
all get to the local user bob. Is there anyway to restrict bob to only be
able to receive and send on one of those particular domains instead of all
three? I though that I had found something on this in the past but I have
been googling for two days now and have come up with nothing. 

The only thing I have found is the virtual user table, but I would have to
put an entry in there for each domain and each user to be able to do what I
have described. If sendmail cant do this are there any other MTA's that can?

Thanks.
Chadd

RE: [WISPA] OT: sendmail question

[Chadd Thompson]

Won't that still allow the user to receive mail for every domain on the
server unless you go in for every user and specifically deny that particular
address? 

Say you wanted bob to only be able to receive mail on yoyo.com and not
yingyang.com or jacks.com. I would have to put entries in the virtual user
table to exclude/deny the addresses of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
that way the only email that could get through to bob would be [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any other way to do this?

On a side note lately I have been having users get other users email. It is
always a spam message and never a legitimate email but still has me boggled
on how it is happening. I inspect the header information and it shows that
it was came in on the server to the correct addressed user, but it ends up
in a different mailbox. Any ideas on that?

Thanks,
Chadd

[WISPA] Strange network issues "crosspost"

[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

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?

RE: [WISPA] Strange network issues "crosspost"

[Chadd Thompson]

Well I did a bit of searching on the trango support forums and found a
thread of someone with a similar problem. Trango support made a
recommendation to turn off the maclist filter off on the RU. I went a head
and turned it off on the RU's, telnet in and issue "maclist filter off"
command. I did this last night sometime and have not had any issues as of
yet. Since last week sometime I was having to reboot the BH's twice a day or
more. I will see what happens with it and if this doesn't do it I will let
you guys know.

Funny thing about this is that about a week ago I was thinking to myself
"damn those link 10's have ran good the last few years". I was an early
adopter of the link 10 and had nothing but issues with them for the first 6
months or so after release, I felt like a beta tester. Once they fixed
software bugs though they have ran well, until now that is.

Problems like this make you realize how quickly and unexpectedly things can
take a crap on you with little or no changes to your network.

Thanks again for the help.

RE: [WISPA] Strange network issues "crosspost"

[Chadd Thompson]

It seems to have fixed the problem. Been a few days now with no issues.

On a side note though we just came back up from a 19 hour service outage
from AT&T, man those guys piss me off.

This has been a rough month glad its about over.

Hope everyone has a good Christmas, Take some time off and spend some time
with the famliy everyone!!!

Thanks,

RE: [WISPA] $20 'naked' DSL

[Chadd Thompson]

Almost makes you want to close the doors on the rural market and let the
FCC/Gov fund/force ATT or whoever to provide service in these underserved
areas. 

It is going to get to the point where we are only going to be able to
compete in areas where DSL/Cable is not available. I am not sure about the
rest of you but there are not enough of those customers in our area to
survive on that alone. 

It disgusts me anymore to see this type of stuff, well this and to see how
many ISP's are getting huge amount of $$$ from the government to provide
service in areas that are already served by one or more ISP's. One of our
local ISP's has received a cash cow to deploy fiber over a good portion of
Southern IL. I am surprised Scriv hasn't mentioned this as I think it is
going to encroach on a few areas he currently serves.

They need to do something with AT&T to get them to improve service and
reduce cost for competing ISP's who are forced to either buy bandwidth from
them or pay their outrageous local loop prices.

RE: [WISPA] TV white spaces

[Chadd Thompson]

In our area "So IL/metro St.Louis" there are some large guys who are in no
way shape or form legal, over power limits and the whole 9 yards. I can see
other WISP Omni POP's with signal levels in the -70's from over 20 miles
away using a 9dBi on my end, figure up what the EIRP on that is. The one in
this case is a well know respected WISP that visits the popular lists, I
always hope that he doesn't know that is going on and one of his "guys" is
responsible but I have never taken the time to call them up and talk to them
about it either.

I don't know of any WISP's in this area "about 10 that I know of" including
myself who are 100% legal when it comes to using only certified equipment.
Most I think stay within power limits and "equivalent" antennas

The other issue I see in our area is all the new start up WISP's who know
nothing about the industry, the rules, networking, and don't know squat
about RF. These guys are going to be our Achilles heal IMHO. There are too
many vendors selling stuff and they are not concerned in the least bit
whether the guys they are selling to know anything about Part15 rules. When
I started four years ago it seemed like there were not near as many
uncertified options as there are today so I came into the industry using
certified equipment and knew what the rules were. It's too easy to buy
802.xx equipment throw it up on a pole and sell internet to a few users,
more than likely they are not going to be successful but it still hurts
everyone of us.

I admit I am a glass half empty kind of guy, but I don't think there we are
going to have any usable spectrum within the next one to two years because
of stuff like this.

RE: [WISPA] TV white spaces

Sorry,

The signal was in the -70's not right at -70. It was mid to upper -70's from
what I figured up they were putting out around 43dBm EIRP. I could also see
the SSID of the AP so I know what town it was located in and it was/is a
sectorized POP that would be around 30dBm radio input to a 14-15dBi antenna
or a 26dBm radio input to a 17-18dBi antenna.

Thanks,

RE: [WISPA] Moisture Ingress

[Chadd Thompson]

Scriv,

I use the tape-tape-tape method. First I wrap the connection very
tight with a high quality electrical tape like 3M super88, then I wrap a
layer of self sealing rubber tape "3M brand also", then a final layer of 3M
super88. You need to make sure your wraps are tight. Also make sure that
adhesive lined heat shrink is being used on your cables.

You also need to make sure you are wrapping your tape correctly so
that the overlap on the tape is correct. For example if you have a
connector/cable that runs up and down you want to wrap your tape from bottom
to top, not top to bottom this lets the water shed over your wrap similar to
shingles on a house rather then running into the wrap.

This is what I do and knock on wood I have not had water get into a cable in
the 4 years I have been doing this.

RE: [WISPA] Moisture Ingress

Forgot to mention a side benefit do doing it this way is that I don't have
to deal with mastic if I need to swap something out in the future. Usually I
can unwrap the connection with little trouble, otherwise I slit it with a
razor knife then peal it of nice and clean.

RE: [WISPA] 900 MHz Help

[Chadd Thompson]

My advise is to stay away from it if you can. The noise in most areas is
horrible, and I have not seen any gear yet that can deal with it. I have
some customers running on it still but any chance I get I take users off 900
and put them on 2.4 or 5.8. The equipment is expensive the antennas are
huge. etc etc

RE: [WISPA] 900 MHz Help

[Chadd Thompson]

Im experience it depends on what you consider "works". If you consider being
able to transfer a decent amount of data with 5% packet loss working then
yeah it works, if you have anything that is latency sensitive then no it
doesn't work well in noisy environments. Our area is noisy on both H and V
pol so I am not able to avoid the noise and it clobbers my Trango 900. As I
mentioned in my previous post I am moving as many as my customers off 900 as
I can and I have not done any new 900 installs for quite sometime.

Sounds about right, the other thing with higher noise levels is that you
will have packet loss. You can still have good throughput but you will have
packet loss.

RE: [WISPA] Mikrotik Hotspot Setup

[Chadd Thompson]

I kind of thought the same thing, but thought he may be poking fun
at him or something. 

I have been planning on joining WISPA this year once I can scrape up
the $$ to do it but with the recent bashing of certified/non-certified
solutions I am not sure it is where I want to spend my money. 

I have a mixed network of certified and non-certified equipment as
does everyone operating in our area. One of the draws for me to join WISPA
was the recent discussion of WISPA heading up a program to try to get some
of the more common non-certified solutions certified. I have looked into
getting my own equipment certified but if this is something that WISPA is
going to do I would definitely rather spend my money to support WISPA in its
efforts. Does anyone know where WISPA is at on this project and if it is
moving forward?

Thanks,
Chadd

RE: [WISPA] What is WISPA? was Promotion of services on-list

Because the org is speaking on the behalf of all WISPS not just WISPA
members. If the org is speaking on the behalf of all WISPS then all WISPS
should be able to have some input on what is being taken to the table,
member or not. I offered to help with whatever I could when WISPA started,
but I was never taken up on my offer of time.

We "my wife and I" have been in business for over four years now and have
just now gotten to the point that I could quit my Day job and focus on our
business. So yes the money is a big deal to some companies out there.

I am not a WISPA member and I don't consider myself a freeloader here. If I
give input to one person a month on a problem they are having I have pulled
my weight.

As I have mentioned before, everytime I get ready to open up the wallet to
join crap like this comes up and makes me wonder if it is a good investment.
Talk of free listserver members being freeloaders and not supporting the org
is sure as hell not a good way to drive up membership.

Thanks,
Chadd Thompson

Butch,

Thanks for taking the time to reply with a well thought out professional
response to my questions.

Sorry if what I was asking didn't come across the correct way. I am not
worried about the monetary value of what membership gives, that information
has been well advertised. There seems to be great support from vendors and
such to WISPA members.

Just read some of the responses to this discussion that has been going on. I
think it is pretty obvious. Or if its not maybe I am reading more into
comments than I should be, if thats the case I apologize as I mentioned in
my previous post it is very difficult to interpret someones tone when
reading an email.

Here is a quote that I take as being non professional and I definalty don't
think comments like this do anything to support WISPA, our industry and in
my opinion do nothing to add any credibility to WISP's in general.

Quote
""You've got this backward Peter.

""The question is, what value to they bring to WISPA?
Unquote.

Does WISPA seek input from members when dealing with issues like this? Or is
everything decided by a group of officers? In other words how does the ORG
run on a day to day basis, how are decisions made, how does it decide what
battles to fight, how does it determine what stance to take on issues?

Yes I have been sending in our 477 since it came out.
Tincans Wireless Internet

Yes I have commented on issues to the FCC with regards our industry. Some I
have heard about on this list and some I have heard about elsewhere.

Again Butch thanks for taking the time to respond in a professional,
productive manner. I am sure it looks as if I am making excuses not to join,
but if that was the case I wouldn't be here to begin with, it would not be
worth my energy/time if I was not truly intersted in joining and supporting
WISPA. I just have questions about how the ORG operates on a day to day
basis, how decisions are made, where does the average joe fit in, etc etc.

Thanks,
Chadd Thompson

Doesn't paypal charge a pretty hefty transaction fee when accepting payments

RE: [WISPA] strange connectivity issues

[Chadd Thompson]

Marlon,

Sound like you covered all your bases here but here is my .02 worth.

I have had issues like this in the past and it has always been related to
one of three things.

1. If it is a new hookup from dialup or SAT usually it is some sort of a
proxy issue, either proxy is enabled in internet explorer settings or there
is a third party app installed for the dialup/sat. I had to reformat a PC
one time because I couldn't get a clean uninstall of Directway's proxy
software.

2. Mcaffee or Norton Virus/internet security is installed tyring to make
sure that it stays installed on the PC and kept up to date. I have seen both
programs totally hose a PC with the same issues you are describing. One of
the first things I do on a PC with either of these to programs is uninstall
it "if it will let you" and install AVG Antivirus and AVG anitspyware or MS
defender.

3. There is a virus and or spyware on the PC.

Thanks,
Chadd

Re: [WISPA] DSL & BGP

[Chadd Thompson]

I am far from a Mikrotik guru but from what I know you would need to assign
private IP's to your network to be able to do this as a fail over or as load
balancing without BGP. I don't know of any DSL providers who will do BGP.

Re: [WISPA] Flaky connection

My first guess would be local noise on the CPE end. Second would be a
hardware issue.

I have used that, but not here.  
It is not an IP issue, the radios drop association due to excessive errors,
per the CPE.  I have never seen the AP drop the link in the log.

See what else in going on @ the CPE. 

Also - 

 

have you folks started using MTR instead of ping?

 

MTR is like a traceroute on steroids 

 

In short - it combines the functionality of the traceroute tool and ping
application together :-)

 

It shows you packet loss across the path in real time 

 

very simple to use - but a command line tool 

 

mtr ip

 

ie  mtr 192.168.134.2

#1: The hooker doesnt get to keep the $100 because her pimp took 90% of it.
#2: The pimp ends up blowing it on his drug habit.
#3: The drug dealer spends it on the hooker, back to the pimp, now we're
stuck in a endless loop!

Comments:
A) The motel owner had no business stealing the $100 from the rich tourist.
B) Nobody benefits except the pimp and drug dealer so further down goes the
neighborhood and the optimism with it.
C) This is a perfect example of what is wrong with debt.
D) The ends never justify the means.

MDK- just for you.  :-}

-Or

It is a slow day in the small Minnesota town of Marshall, and the streets
are deserted.  Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is
living on credit.

A rich tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel,
lays a $100 bill on the desk and says he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs
before selecting one for the night.

1. As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs
next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

2. The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to
the pig farmer.

3. The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his
supplier, the Farmer's Co-op.

4. The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to
the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to
offer her "services" on credit.

5. The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel
owner.

6. The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich
traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are
not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves town.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is
now out of debt and looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Stimulus works.
