Internet Access

One of the very few downsides about moving so far into the country is that Internet access is limited to dial-up only. There is no cable, satellite access is almost as expensive as a T1 and we are about a mile too far from our telco CO for DSL. I have been looking at ways to 'leverage' something a bit faster... If the neighbors would be interested in participating, we might go in on a T1. Another option is to find someone closer to town (who would be able to get DSL) and set up some wireless repeaters. I ran into this group: Seattle Wireless Net They are doing some fantastic work with open-source wireless services -- taking off the shelf 802.11 hardware and adding external antennas, writing all sorts of drivers and making the system generally hackable. Cool place!!!
