Thanks for that Rohan...<br>
however before i contact anyone i need to know exactly what to buy and
where from so i can nut out a rough budget for the project...<br>
if this is realistic then i would then proceed to talk directly with
you guys to see if i could tee up a better deal.<br>
<br>
And also it would be helpful to know some specifics on weather or not
its going to be easy for me to set up...<br>
But thanks for your document<br>

some presentations i did for school a while ago,...<br>
<br>
your best bet is to contact all the people closest to you and ask about
a possible hookup. <br>
<br>
good luck

Newbie User Here...<br>
Just wondering if its just me but there seems to be a curious lack of<br>
pertienant info on the Melbourne wireless website specific to alot of<br>
the questions that an possible aspriring user would require....<br>
<br>
I.E. how can i decide to persue this interest with out specifics...I.E.<br>
1) Required hardware lists.<br>
- lists of the different types of hardware required.<br>
- breakdowns into possible specific units ETC under each heading and<br>
which retail outlets stock these ETC.<br>
<br>
2) typical set-ups.......<br>
-What components are required<br>
- typically how much does each component cost (retail).<br>
- links to hardware supplier websites ETC<br>
- exposes of Melb Wireless users...I.E joes blog's node<br>
- what hardware he/she has ...<br>
- where he purchase his particualar hardware.<br>
- how much time/money did he devote to setting up his node.<br>
- what does he use it for.<br>
- are there any ongoing costs.<br>
<br>
3) how much expertise is required to set up the node...<br>
- what are typical configurations of the a foresaid hardware.<br>
- is any special software required.<br>
- can anyone set-up a node.<br>
- how much time and effort are involved...<br>
<br>
3) if i want to connect to more than one node....do i need 2 antenas?<br>
<br>
4) what speeds can i expect.....<br>
<br>
5) how much and what type of content is currently on the network...<br>
<br>
6) what do users typically use the network for currently.<br>
<br>
7) what different types of services are currently employed and are they<br>
really useful.<br>
<br>
8) is there any plans to expand the services provided by the<br>
network...(i.E. telephony?)<br>
<br>
ETC ETC<br>
I could go on.....<br>
This is the type of thing i would have expected to find on your
website....<br>
instead i find specifics on people who are already using it and where<br>
they are on maps and techno gargon of their hardware ETC which is really<br>
useless to a neebie to be honest...<br>
I guess i need to go to a meeting to find all this stuff out....<br>
<br>
However with a few more articles on your website it would save me the<br>
time of going out to hawthorn and then (possibly finding out there that<br>
this is not for me ETC...)<br>
<br>
It would be nice to have these types of topics covered on your<br>
website...any answers by email would be good too..<br>
Thanks....<br>
<br>
P.S. Sorry to be a "Butt wipe" on my first post...<br>
Looking forward to some info...<br>
Thanks...<br>
