With what hardware under what conditions? That is the $64,000 question


I've found the link for the ISP http://www.x.net.au.
Whilst the first page makes it sound like some community initiative,
it looks very much like a commercial company is behind all of this to
make money by acting as an ISP.

However, the questions is; Does anyone understand it enough to tell
the rest of us how to do it here. It has to be based on something
other than wavelan like stuff to reach 30kms.
