<P><FONT size=2>With regards to a backbone are there really any AP's anywhere
yet that could be linked together?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I'm looking into possibilities out my direction and I've
worked out roughly where good locations for AP's could be so that we could all
link. These would be in Rowville, Wheelers Hill, Vermont, Glen Waverley
and possibly Ferntree Gully.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I'm going to get hold of an old Melways so I can start marking
in peoples locations and pay a few visits to check out LOS.</FONT></P><BR>

<P><FONT size=2>My 20c worth here.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I have noted on Ebay that there are quite a few Orinoco AP
1000 and the</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>outdoor model going very
reasonably. I know that they do not have any cards</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>in them, but the do have 2 PC slots to take the Gold and Silver cards
(or</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>any other as I understand).</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I think that these would be very useful for providing a back
bone (may be</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>connection limits). They would also
provide a solid platform for upgrading</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>when 'The Price
is Right' for emerging technology.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>May be this might be a good place to start.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>So after the BBQ has there been any decisions made with regard
to :</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>1) Forming a constitution (something would have allayed last
weeks</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>discussion about internet access)</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>2)Plan for a back bone (based on current node map)</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>3)Roll out schedule.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>4) A financial
commitment from users.</FONT> </P><BR><BR>
