[MLB-WIRELESS] xDSL to Node GHO

[-|- Hurgh -|-]

I think this would be a great idea, but atm I think the prices are a bit
high.
I have heard around the place that you can get isdn connections (no
internet) between 2 points for not too much a month, some figures i heard
ranged from $50-$80 per month. Now this is only ISDN so no more than 128k,
but that might still be enough just for some simple connectivity.

I dont think that internet access is a must, infact i think it would be
better to get the link without internet access (sorry Matt), mainly for the
fact that if people want internet they normaly already have it, and the
wireless network if connected, the more people are on, the less we will need
the internet.

Ne way, i think it is a great idea.
