My experience with Amateur Packet Radio systems showed me long ago the placing 
of all your users on a single central access point causes more trouble that it 
is worth.  

1. if the node goes down, then many are disadvantaged, 

2. hidden transmitter problems run riot and the system may as well not be there.

Although probally already known by you guys, running point 2 point links to 
various gepgraphical areas with many nodes for users to access is the best way 
to go.  There was an article written many years ago about packet radio 
called "The cellular approach to Packet Radio", the name says it all.

Just 2c worth......
