[MLB-WIRELESS] Connecting nodes/clusters and expanding the mesh via Internet tunnels.

[Paul van den Bergen]

Hi Evil...

this is what I figured...  they will charge appropriately.

OK, so if I grab a length of copper wire and pass it over the back 
fence, can me and my mate connect our ADSL modems together?  or is the 
bit at the exchange required to handle the setup handshake (i.e. is the 
handshake asymetric too?)  as far as I can see, the echange is required 
to do routing of the P2P connection because it enteres a network domain 
(ATM/FR).  if there is only a direct connection could you run PPP over 
DSL? (or whqatever equiv. was required.
