G'day Shay, yes I've previously investigated FreeNet and found a
contact fairly close in Kardinya, but from what I've been able to
gather there is no connection from FreeNet to the wider Internet
unless anyone knows of some wireless ISPs that service the metro area
(at reasonable rates - $150/month for 128Kbps thru Eftel RadioWAN is
a bit much!)?

Since we can't get ADSL or cable and ISDN looks a bit expense for
the slow speeds ($85 per month for 128K with 10hr disconnects), it
looks like satellite is our only alternative in Kardinya (near
Murdoch University). Unless anyone has had any luck with some of
the wireless ISP alternatives floating around?
