Anybody interested in building a high-speed home-to-home network around
Mt Roskill/Mt Albert/Mt Eden in Auckland? I'm thinking spread spectrum
radio, OC3 lasers, ethernet cable strung between windows, that kind of
thing.
Houseowners with a serious application for such a network need not apply.
People who just want to mess about and be able to remotely SNMP manage
each others fridges using cobbled-together, obsolete hardware rescued from
skips and office garbage - this means you :)

I have been wanting to do this on a small (and problable much slower, ie
9600 would have been fine) between a couple of my mates computers for ages
(well more then 3 years any way) but I never thought about posting anything
in a usenet group.
Anyway, any one near me (Mathers Road, Hoon Hay, Christchurch, right next to
Manning Intermediate) interested?

Serious? Never!

I've got a temperature sensor and a light (in my room), but not SNMP
capable, does that still count? :-).
