Spelling: NodeGSM
This is our first node and is used solely for those at this location -
it's not a public link at this point (closed, running WEP and MAC
restricted). The node is linked to the 'net via a 56k modem - no
broadband as yet.
Major thanks go out to the folks at Toy Satellite
(www.toysatellite.org) for lending the access point hardware & its
Orinoco card.
Future wireless projects include the following:
1. Creating a briefcase node for use while mobile and/or at remote
sites (eg: file server, print server, AP and 56k link to the 'net in a
briefcase).
2. Going to broadband for the private LAN and WLAN.
3. Loading a content/bbs server onto the 'net
4. Setting up a second, public access WLAN to allow those around this
site to access the content/bbs server via wireless
5. Becoming a node in the Melbourne Wireless mesh
Don't hold your breath on this, but hey, at least the first step has
