I am just thinking about some wifi solutions for my father who lives in a rural setting and is limited to dial-up access to his ISP. He wants to have wifi internet access around the farmhouse but the only connection point is via dial-up over a radio linked telephone - way slow!. 1/ Of course first reaction would be to put in an ipcop type box with a modem and a wifi card - would work well but the box is kind of large for the location of the phone point -- the hallway 2/ Move the phone socket. - The walls are all concrete block! 3/ I found this device which looks kind of cool, if not a little pricey / hard to source in NZ: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=5647, but it seems to have the required functionality
Any other other neat ideas floating around - perhaps some linux device with the required interfaces attached ie. nslu2 w/ usb modem & wifi ? Chris
