Where is it? Can I go plug a usb dongle antenna in to it and bounce it

They're probably just as good as each other for most stuff. However cable
has fewer short outages - when cable is out tends to be for hours at a time,
but maybe once a year or two.
With DSL how many times have you found a problem is just gone by the time
you look for it ? Remember Micro-outages

No, other way round. More like the only low-latency internet service
you'll get in this country is Telsta cable. Unless they've changed that,
but ssh is pretty snappy.

Hi Guys,
I'm just re-evaluating communications at my house, which I also work
from daily, and was interested in thoughts regarding any cost savings
and improvements.
Requirements:
Phone in/out
Fax in/out
Interweb [10Gb min]
2 x mobile phone
Current setup [costs monthly]:

No point dropping anything after you've already accepted everything.
No suggestions, but the problem with all these iptables scripts is that
they don't work together, so I never see that much poin
Can anyone suggest any extensions to this. It's a part of a sort of moving
firewall script, run hourly that firewalls those who are annoying me the most.
( I regenerate that part of the list from the mailer logs )
1. Reset and static rules.
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -A
Agree. You will need a package called wpa_supplicant (it may be called
wpasupplicant in some distros)

Make sure it's the GL version - the G version5 is $5 cheaper but has less
ram and a different OS. And its got decent aerials.

$350 still!)

Hi,
Am I right in presuming BB modems/routers are OS neutral like my external
modem? Are there any brands I should steer clear off or are they all
pretty much the same? I intend going the wireless route.
