I've spent.. well... quite a bit of time watching for the "key" data to show up that answers those questions. I can't answer them. I can't find the information, either. The best I can find, is that you must provide either (can't tell which ) either all the data that goes to and from a specific user... OR a specific IP, provided in a specific format (don't know what that format is, can't find out) to the requesting LEA within 2 hours if it is an "amber alert" or 2 days if any other type of request. There is a data format or protocol which is supposed to be used, but I cant' find out what it is. I did manage to read that there will unlikely be any any open source implementations, since the protocol is not free or open and that the license is very costly. All I can find is that we're going to have to comply with "industry standards". I can't figure out who is creating those standards, or if those standards will be open for implementation, or we'll have to pay a license to those who created them. -------------------------------------------- Mark Koskenmaki <> Neofast, Inc Broadband for the Walla Walla Valley and Blue Mountains 541-969-8200 -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
