In the case of a base station, it is easy enough to use GenericCommPromiscious (Or the T2 equivalent?) and listen for any message, then forward it to the UART. You simply don't check for the message type before you forward it. (Cavet: you don't get messages for other groups, but that seldom comes up.) On all other nodes, you can: *Direct it from node to node. Transmit to 4. 4 transmits to 1. 1 transmits to base. (Multi-Hop, Tree) *Identify each message uniquely, and only retransmit it once. (Bcast) In other words, you need a routing protocol, or you'll get infinite loops. There are some complex and efficient ones in TinyOS, but you can also work out some pretty simple ones on your own.
