yes I thought of that too. I would be easier in the suburbs were land is flat and line of sight is much more
prevalent.

Hmm connecting each other other means sounds not bad, but the routing starts to become compilcated. As already
doing it at home with three external networks (two using real world ip numbers) and the third wireless, isn't
so bad because I own the ips and a can afford to lose a few ips to break down into subnetmask for routing. In
the big wireless world ips aren't as affordable to lose. So its either I think 10..x.x.x or ipv6.

Yes definitely more nodes need to be real. Is there a on drew node map to update it when you are live.
