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

Hello Paul,

exchange does nothing... yes you could do that, however "over the back
fence" you might as well run cat5e...

cat5 is rated up to 100m, however some *can* do 150m+ with the decent
hubs/switches and cat5e cable etc...

of course you could always run cat5 for dsl, having 8 wires
technically could get 4Mbits (modems start getting a bit pricey then
as well)
