matthew- very nicely done. in looking at the nodes it looks like we have a few places where we might be able to have some overlap but it looks like as we had suspected we're pretty well spread out. i think the best hopes we have of getting cooperative node links are between my (pending) second node and AAA and jack who is also in the area. i have my reservations regarding a node between myself and aviateur given the significant foliage between us and the fact that i can't see anything in that direction (despite the fact that i'm actually on a hill) because of the foliage. it seems to me that there might be a couple of different ways to skin this cat. if we're keen on the wired hotspot mode of operation we might want to see about getting more people interested in our activities here. this has the added benefit of getting us more potential access point locations. in order to minimize the pain of doing this for people we should make it as straightforward as possible which brings us back to the cookbook configuration concept. the other way to skin this cat seems to be to find locations where we can put up hub nodes that have decent LOS to a few folks and see about getting wired connectivity to these locations. other thoughts? when last we saw our hero (Tuesday, Jun 11, 2002), Matthew S.
