Cool langaiting versus tailgaiting. Get multiple nextel users and bump up the throughput.

The AP leases a private address via DHCP and shared that via NAT over the 802.11b. I then use what ever I please (usually my Palm Tungsten C) for wireless Internet access, any where near my car (which is usually near my person). We can certainly hook up your modem to my laptop and experiment with routing - I'm running OS X on a PowerBook and we can take a close look at the routing tables to figure out how things should be. If we really want to test it out on Linux, there's never a shortage of Linux notebooks at the TriLUG meeting - I'm sure we can coax someone into trying out Nextel Broadband. :) Aaron S.
