[MLB-WIRELESS] Response to meshing

I fear this would happen if Melbwireless depended on too few central nodes 
and doesn't allow some sort of load sharing between access points.

Ah, I think a colleague of yours explained to me that there were several 
central nodes, namely NAB building, somewhere out northeast and south.  No 
mention was made of node load balancing so I inferred that there was a 
dependancy for all the clients to access the network in a star fashion from 
around town without forwarding the packets from others.

Ah, OK.  So is it using 802.11b hardware with the optimised system from 
Karlnet?

Well, how about discussing with us how your network operates?  I'm keen to 
know.  Or some hyperlinks that go in depth about the technology?  We need 
all the help we can get.
