The big problem down there right now communications wise, is diesel. There is a microwave link from DR to a large NAP, and they are down to eight hours of fuel. This would be a great place to start. There is a thread on NANOG at the moment in regards to this, and even mentions the "diverse group of wireless people" (Prounounced: Camp Shagnasty) who helped out in Katrina. http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg04234.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
