Richard,<br><br>A project I've had on my plate for a few months might make an interesting demo. <br>I stumbled across a WiFi access point with management features that is integrated in a RH 8.0 Linux distro. <a href="http://www.lessnetworks.com/index.html">LessNetworks.com</a> is free, with minimal system requirements and I'm looking to add it to my services offerings for some tourism-based clients. <br><br>Allows for free, branded WiFi with bandwidth throttling, blacklisting abusers by MAC address, etc. Looks fairly robust and the price is right - free.<br><br>I can scare up an old Pentium II and a few NICs. I don't have a spare wireless access point lying around. Could bring my Netgear from home. Already downloaded the ISO and burned a copy.<br><br>My Linux setup experience is rather meager - a few Ubuntu setups and administering a RH 9.0 server for a few years. Assistance may be necessary. Install notes are at <a

If we can get enough <br>people to bring in a few distros, we might be able to do some burning.<br>Other ideas are welcome<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>nflug mailing list<br>nflug@nflug.org<br>http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug<br></blockquote><br><BR><BR>Len Thornton<br><br>Office: (716) 778-9376<br>Cell: (716) 553-9240
