DSL is one thing, can we do better?  bonded DSL?  Proxy servers?
Maybe we should get Linux Users of Vic involved as well.

I don't have a problem upstaging the big T in rural areas.  In fact
its been in my todo list for a while...

Maybe we can do bonded DSL to a local hub.  There is another local
group I know of that might loans us gear for FTTT (fibre to the
tent).

The major issue here is getting short term DSL connections to an
exchange that I expect is close to 100% full.

Whats the time frame and whats the budget?

And paging Tyson.....
whats your comments?

Guys,  bring your spare cash to the meeting.  I'm going to have a
bunch of stuff going to the higest bidder and the cash all goes to
melbourne wireless or this project.  There is a swap meet this meeting
so I invite you all to do the same.  (also does anyone have any
extra tables they can bring)
