PPPoe & DHCP are for Resi Services... what are you exactly needing ? > > Since all of the pieces are already there in one form or another, it > shouldn't be difficult to go the rest of the way. Rest of the way to what ? I thought we just established that all the pieces exist, and all it needs is the 'Glue'...

It costs thousands, because it is worth 10's of Thousands.... integration is never cheap, never has been, nor it will ever be. You can hire very sharp Russian or Indian programer to do this for you, and it will be less expensive than the going rate but .... the decision you have to make is, what is your ROI going to be on it ? Remember the 80/20 Rule of Life... It applies here too.... :) > > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Butch Evans" <but...@butchevans.com> > To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> > Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 6:11:39 PM > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Radios as routers > > On Fri, 2012-10-19 at 16:49 -0500, Mike Hammett wrote: >> No. >> >> The cable modem (radio) does the authentication (therefore rate limiting, >> one address per house, etc.) while the customer supplied device is the >> terminus for the public IP and does the NAT.
