Is there enough interest in starting an area of discussion about using DSL with WRAP boards for setting up community wireless networks?  I'm not a geek, but want to learn about how DSL might fit in with building community wireless networks.  Seems like we, in our community, could purchase something that acts as an antenna/router for the community, and then utilize cheap home antennas to get the ball rolling.  Am I on the right track?

There's actually more to it than that, but free wifi can be a good thing as long as other 'big brother' ISPs don't decide to sick their lawyers on you...

Well, I suppose a new area on this forum is up to the dev (and the pseudo-dev) team.

Anyway, if you learn how to setup a wireless network with DSL (which isn't hard at all, check the DSL wiki). Adding a more powerful antenna to your router is a simple matter of engineering and careful observance of any applicable regulations (such as wireless standards, local regs concerning transmissions, etc.).

It is not that I disturb you. It is that you simply are disturbed that I am correct!

It is shameful that you choose not to listen.
