You could ask the disproportionately large Australian contingent of FreeBSDers - Julian Elischer and Mike Smith being the names I recall immediately (sorry to the others I've actually met.) My understanding is that telstra is The australian phone company / ISP; anyone else doing anything else ends up using them upstream somewhere, I gather. But there are no doubt littler ISPs all around, brave enough to check out the wireless. Wireless's primary problem is that it isn't long-haul without being pricy and powerful - at the power levels in COTS products the range is max approx 25km without amplification. Certainly works at the periphery of cities though. I was in Sydney in 1964; probably a few things have changed since then. If nobody you can find there is doing wireless, why not you? (See 'telstra' above.) I forget the terrain, I recall it's largely flat, but I was on foot and 8 years old, so what do I know. New Zeeeland was fun, too. If you set up shop there and need advice, ring us up. We /will/ accept Kangaroos in trade, barring USDA regulations. - to be discussed. -- -sysad@transbay.net (Transbay Sysad) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
