RE: [MLB-WIRELESS] Getting up and going and Hold off on buying wireless equipment for a few months!You can use a std Lucent RG-1000 or AP-1000 with Karlnet - TURBOCELL loaded to link access points together to form a longhall backbone / link.

  With regards to a backbone are there really any AP's anywhere yet that could be linked together? 

  I'm looking into possibilities out my direction and I've worked out roughly where good locations for AP's could be so that we could all link.  These would be in Rowville, Wheelers Hill, Vermont, Glen Waverley and possibly Ferntree Gully.

  I'm going to get hold of an old Melways so I can start marking in peoples locations and pay a few visits to check out LOS.

  My 20c worth here. 

  I have noted on Ebay that there are quite a few Orinoco AP 1000 and the 
  outdoor model going very reasonably.  I know that they do not have any cards 
  in them, but the do have 2 PC slots to take the Gold and Silver cards (or 
  any other as I understand). 

  I think that these would be very useful for providing a back bone (may be 
  connection limits).  They would also provide a solid platform for upgrading 
  when 'The Price is Right' for emerging technology. 

  May be this might be a good place to start. 

  So after the BBQ has there been any decisions made with regard to : 

  1) Forming a constitution (something would have allayed last weeks 
  discussion about internet access) 
  2)Plan for a back bone (based on current node map) 
  3)Roll out schedule. 
  4) A financial commitment from users.
