[nycwireless] Re: NYC MeshNet for 911
Another refried answer. If NYC had bothered to noticed we already have the infastructure installed in the Richochet network installed in most utility poles in the city. Quite a few got pulled in the springtime annual cleaning of DOT. The Richocet net was temporarily reactivated and used during Ground Zero search and recovery operations and the city has had ample opportunity to consider the purchase of the system. Now we will have to blow a BILLION to rebuild the same thing.The feds wont pony up now the stuff we need. Public agencies such as FDNY dont even have a slightest clue where to start. BTW I work for FDNY.

RE: [nycwireless] stupid question about vonage
Same, but I've tried 2 fax machines and a fax modem, all have trouble. Modem speeds are worthless. I don't want to come out and say "Vonage sucks!" but my experience with them hasn't been the most positive. I probably would of have not changed my number over (just used them for outbound international) if I knew that I would be having so many problems. Of course Verizon will take forever and a day to reconnect pots which is why I'm keeping Vonage for my inbound. I'm not sure if they are using the incompetence of the LECs to lock in people, but that's how I view my situation. I have better quality voice over Skype btw. Vonage is cheap, but you get what you pay for. Oh, one more thing. I've had to wait for about 10-20 minutes every time I've called their support, which is on par with, shall we say, getting technical advice from someone in compusa. It's great if you like newly formed bleeding ulcers. -ktk -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dustin Sent: Sunday, June 20, 2004 4:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [nycwireless] stupid question about vonage In my experience some fax machines are more sensitive then others. - Dustin - Karol Kulaga wrote: > I've given up trying to fax over Vonage.

Re: [nycwireless] stupid question about vonage
Fax works most of the time, but modems are very iffy. You'd be lucky to get a solid reliable 9600 baud connection, 14.4 on a good day with the wind behind your back.

[nycwireless] Seattle Wireless TV, June Show
Seattle Wireless TV just released their June 2004 Show, containing a segment by Drew from WiFiMaps (me), called "Booze and Wi-Fi," which is an interview with Doug Luce from Telerama (the world's third ISP). Doug talks about their successful ultra-low-cost hotspot setup, and shows us how they are being deployed. Also, Jason Levitt of Less Networks presents "How Less Networks and Austin City Wireless Project beat T-Mobile," a presentation on why every day should be a free Wi-Fi day, how a $100 press release with a good message is worth more than a million dollar ad campaign, and about their AP/captive-portal setup. Check it out for Realplayer, Windows Media, or MPEG/.torrent. http://tv.seattlewireless.net -- Drew from Zhrodague http://www.WiFiMaps.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Location Based WiFi -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
