Well, by Citizen bands I meant 900Mhz, and the 2.3ghz (?) range, which can both be broadcast in without a licence. I'm probally looking at the 2.3 gig range because I want to be able to connect 20-30 miles away. With out several transmitters and repeater stations, the 900mhz range won't do that. The problem with the packet radio is that it's limited to 9600 buad, *IF* that. Telnet would be fine, but any kind of file transfers will be pretty slow. Now, if anyone has a TNC for sale fairly cheap, I might be interested in seeing how that works. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
