OK, before we start spinning off into factions made up of wired wannabes 
and wireless purists, this may be the only way that Melbourne Wireless 
becomes more than just Melbourne and wireless. If you're going to grow 
the network, then wired tunnelling is one of many options, which may 
even include carrier pigeon.  Don't dis it.
On the same side of the coin, two Melbourne Wireless members running a 
closed network 200m apart makes fsck-all contribution to the greater 
good. Is that any worse than two disparate nodes making a wired tunnel 
that feeds into wireless links either end? I think not.
So who's with Netspace that's willing to make a tunnel? Message me 
off-list for details. Let's show these pedantic freaked-out frequency 
pansies what can be done.
