Thanks for the info. I was just wondering at this point. I had a fire dept ask me about the feasibility because of interest on their part about using a multi-wan firewall deployed with their command vehicle to establish a mobile and somewhat fast Internet gateway that could easily be deployed on the scene of a large fire, or other emergency. My immediate thought was a multi-wan cellular broadband powered embedded fanless firewall with wireless card and hi-gain antenna for a quick fix network in a box that could provide an emergency worker hotspot with internet and VPN capabilities back to the home network and resources. At this point, satellite is not an option for them, but they have a couple mobile cellular accounts.
A couple questions, how large of a bounty would be required, and are there any other products out there that can currently use multiple cellular broadband modems as wan connections? (I'm aware of the dlink 3g routers and one from Linksys). Hmmm..... I suppose that I could get a couple dlinks and place them in bridge mode to a pfsense box. Just thinking out loud at this point. --Vaughn On Tue, 01 May 2007 16:47:41 -0400, "Chris Buechler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Vaughn L.
