The list server is running, Brian is working on the final setup / config.
Sorry, its I thought I could do it in just an hour, but I've never set
this software up before so it took 2 hours.
I'm guessing the list will be up and running.
Any suggestions on how we can confirm that the person attempting to
signup for the group buy listserv is actually a principle member?
I don't think we want a list of all the members distributed. I was
thinking a simple script might allow an authorized person to query *if*
a certain email address is a principle member or not.. hmmm... a puzzle..
I guess the person asking for the list membership could do so on the
principle member list @ wispa.

I like the recent post about monitors too. Frankly the BND stuff for
$500 is good, but I'd use at least twice as much of it :-) if it were
$250. ha!
I sent you a note directly, I'll hang in there for a while tonight to
get the listserver doing precisely what it should.

That would be great. People are asking me about 5.2, 5.7, 2.4, as
well as 900. I just want 900 for now. If we get a place to talk
about it, someone else can coordinate the same with each product.

I'm getting a lot of interest off list on the group idea. Can
anyone (principal member) set up a mail server for use to talk
about this. ASAP!
Thanks

I know you don't support the idea of group buys.
It's not that I don't support the concept, truthfully, I could
care less
whether you buy your gear from a distributor, reseller, or direct
from the
manufacturer
I have just seen it implemented (rather unsuccessfully) many
times by ISPs
such as yourselves, and am trying to help you avoid making such a
mistake
The idea of a WISP buying group is nothing original, for the past
few years,
I've seen this idea come up at least once a month on some WISP
listserv /
forum / etc...
However, if it was really that "easy and simple" -- why hasn't it
been
implemented yet on a consistent long term basis?
Here's my observation
-The guys that fail with their buying group end up getting their
inventory
liquidated on Ebay, go bankrupt and disappear
-The guys that just barely sell their inventory realize how much
of a PITA
the organization/operation is, and go back to buying from their
distributor/reseller/etc
-The guys that are extremely successful become
resellers/distributors
