A good GUI for traffic shaping controls would be a huge win. My basic philosophy on open AP's is that they can't make _my_ usage slow and they can't use enough data to put my connection over the ISP's monthly cap. I recently put a port-25 outbound block on due to some l0zer with an infected Windows machine that hopped onto my office network (I'm now in a mixed professional/residential neighborhood). The rate limits aren't too hard to do for those familiar with traffic shaper guts, but some user-land helpers would be really useful. Anybody seen these on low-cost AP's? -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Cell: 603.252.2606 Twitter, etc.: bill_mcgonigle Page: 603.442.1833 Email, IM, VOIP: b...@bfccomputing.com Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
