I've made a few updates at the original URL regarding the status of the first access node at my house.
I've also created a mailing list specifically for the discussion of planning and constructing a broadband wireless network in San Francisco for Internet access and community networking. Information and subscription instructions for the list are at http://vpizza.org/mailman/listinfo/sfwbb -j >From http://slashdot.org/ Inspiring Adventures in SF Wireless Networking Posted by chrisd on Thursday May 30, @12:05AM from the and-you-too-can-be-wirelessly-groovy dept.

The link runs at 3.5 Mbps, which I barely make a dent in, and I'd like to offer the rest of the bandwidth to anyone who's got line-of-sight to my location in San Francisco." The great thing about this story is both his terrific exposure to different parts of city and his willingness to share. http://vpizza.org/~jmeehan/photo/index.cgi?album=20020406-corbett-house-view&mode=view It also makes it clear just how easy it is to set up a long distance link. -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
