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

I'm not aware of any untimed long distance 30c calls although I have struck
the 50km nonsense.  Whatever ...... Tel$tra certainly doesn't rate a place
in the list of organizations for which I have any respect. The 'ONLY' reason
I still do business with them is the extreme difficulty I've experienced
getting 're-sold' products fixed when they break.  At least with the Tel$tra
flavour of PSTN & ADSL, one can raise hell with the TIO & ACCC with some
chance of getting stuff fixed in this lifetime.
