Uh, you're kidding right? The kiddies on isp-wireless only recently discovered NoCatAuth (along with the whole notion of captive portals), let alone build Unix homegrown AP's (*gasp* We don't have to buy Lonnie's software!). Furthermore, that list is soo full of childish fights and fluff. Such a great example of legal law abiding citizens and business owners they present themselves. As Russell already mentioned, if you knew about it, why didn't you speak up?
As far as the Canopy's go, the external casing is very slick <http://www.bawug.org/images/equipment/motorola/canopy/mot_canopy/> (much sexier then any Pelican or Tupperware hack); but that's where the innovation stops. Proprietary protocol, expensive, laughable management' almost sounds like a radio (not a networking) company designed it.. wait a minute! Don't get me wrong they're a nice start, but way too expensive to ever solve the last mile dilemma. Though I could see these used as an afford wireless backhaul (vs. Western Mux gear). -- Matt Peterson Bay Area Wireless Users Group Founder <http://www.bawug.org/> -- On Tue, Jul 16, 2002 at 11:32:45AM -0500, Jason M.
