Reminds me of users telling me I've "incorrectly" configured my servers, or the dialup boxes. Had one customer tell me that the 6509's should be setup as PRI only, I got tired of telling him that the LEC didn't offer PRI lines, that their channelized DS-1 lines.... HUGE diff between the two..
Oh well, now I have to put up with people telling me that the BSSID is encoded in the ESSID... like I'm really going to spend a day teaching them about RF and data packets over RF... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eje Gustafsson Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 23:41 To: Chris Chance Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Quality of sB Forum Personally I dislike webbased forums unless there is a way to get e-mails sent from them. I don't have time to browse through them for the goodies on a daily basis and I want the messages with me. That way when I need some quick info I can do a search in my OWN mailbox and find that post where someone posted this great tip on how to make something work or whatever it might been. As for THE actual people most of them don't need to be in here ? Or am I wrong understanding with THE people your actually referring to the customers that obtain service the end users the WISPs customer? IMO there is no reason or need to do a forum that THEY like because any technical info should come from the WISP not from his customer. I can not personally stand when a customer of mine (dailup customer or computer service customer) brings in print outs and explain all their research they done and what they found about his problem with his soundcard or modem in his computer. Makes me want to tell them so now that you done all this research why don't YOU fix the problem yourself instead of trying to tell ME how to do MY job that your paying me for ? There been times with people I know well that I have asked them if they are the computer tech or if I'm the computer tech ? One of them is a car mechanic that I bring my truck to when needs to be fixed. I don't tell him how to do his job I simply tell him what seems to be wrong and then let him fix it. So when he start to tell me how he thinks it should be fixed I simply ask him if he is the computer tech and I'm the car mechanic. ;) Either way. sB equipment is targeted for WISPs and WISP usage and is not a Linksys, Dlink or Netgear product that is targeted to home users.
