>> Keith (KB3TCB)
>> *Broadband-Hamnet™* (formerly known as HSMM-Mesh™) is a high speed, self
>> discovering, self configuring, fault tolerant, wireless computer network. Its
>> primary focus is on emergency communications. Equipment to built the network
>> is off-the-shelf, low-cost, commodity wireless routers which have been
>> re-flashed with new firmware. When a number of these boxes are turned on,
>> they automatically form a network much like (but separate from) the larger
>> internet. When this happens, any normal internet data can be passed between
>> the nodes, such as web cameras, VoIP and text messaging.
>>
>> Public Service opportunities are forthcoming. In particular we need operators
>> for the Cherry Pit Race. Please contact Les (KH6CUJ):
