[svlug] Wireless?

[William Black]

The wierd part about this is that we could do the same
sort of thing that amateur radio operators do with
repeaters:  Create a WAN to send packets way farther
than they're really intended to go with the original
equipment.  Just a few boxen running Linux with packet
forwarding enabled on the wireless IF.

It's like Hands Across America, only with datagrams. 
Freeky.
