[BAWUG] Richmondchannel, emerychannel - regional networks?

This isn't addressed specifically to the fellow to whom I'm replying. Lord, it's embarrassing. Watching people peck at this poor journalist like crows at roadkill. Don't you people have some _networks_ to put together? You go on and on about how complex the systems are, and how much of an a

I've never been sure what makes people think user groups are there to do their homework for them. "Do the equipment come with cables" - read the box! I mean, it's not exactly part of the 802.11b standard, is it, that equipment comes with cables? How should we know? Number 9 is moderately int

Let's change the topic a little bit. Who would show up for a community meeting of some kind? What issues do you want to see covered? Long(ish) distance point-to-point? Connecting to an SFLAN node? Basic Windoze/client setup? Experimenting with NoCatAuth fo

Me too. Do you think we could get many people (end-user, community people) to come, though? I liked the (Seattle?) group's policy of having a set weeknight cafe hangout where they would help people. It's especially good because it can be localized, meaning it'll help you find the people _in y

Can anyone recommend a good SFLAN node accessible from street level from which to examine the network? My local (47) never seems to show up; I fear it may be high above. -- It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religous convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do

[BAWUG] tech help meetings - Handout on creating free hotspots

I'm thinking the best way to start this stuff off is to start locally, with small meetings. If I had an evening in Noe Valley, for example, where everyone was welcome to come chat about what they were doing, who would come? There is a new place on Dolores that has free wireless that would love

It seems to me that BAWUG/SFLAN have some enormously technically talented people involved. But that their development has both stalled, probably because only the terribly technical people originally involved have reached their carrying capacity in terms of attention. I think, however, that wi

I suggest you read the faq. Many, many, many other people have asked 'which AP should I buy'. Concrete isn't the best, but really all you can do is get the AP, set it up, and see how it works. On Oct 28, 2004, at 17:31, L.G wrote: Hi all, I want to share my cable connection wirelessly with ot

Next week, according to meetup.com, some San Francisco wireless group is having a meeting. I figure it's as good a place as any for us to get together and plan more frequent meetings. If they're interesting folks, we should be working together. And if their group is small, we can crush them l

Except many spots simply railroad port 25 to their server and don't let you access anything else. I run postfix-SSL/SMTP-AUTH on port 125 (one more line in master.cf) to get around this. Failing that, I just SSH tunnel to my postfix server and tell my mail client SMTP goes to localhost:10125.
