Re: [WISPA] Cars: The New WiFi Hotspots?
I was thinking of doing some remote surveillance camera stuff for the cops. I was thinking cellular would be the only way to get net to these very remote areas. What OS are you using that handles the cellular card? Ralph wrote: Yes it is. A 4521 if I remember correctly. I didn't have the 2 port USB card in there at the time of the pics. It has WiFi on a subnet, an Ethernet port on another subnet (both with DHCP servers) Plus another subnet on the second Ethernet port (no DHCP) There's a built in web server that I access via a dyndns.org DDNS address from the internet if needed. Also included is a captive portal that I do not use, plus support for a USB web can. Quite a handy little box. My favorite story is about taking a drive from Atlanta to Miami with 3 kids in the car. They all had laptops and were all on the internet instant messaging each other and all their friends.
