World: r3wp

I think when RT release new features the REBOL chatter speedily outpace 
the other topics.

Oddly enough, <c red>t</c><c orange>es</c><c yellow>t</c> works fine. 
I'll chase this up and chat privately to avoid further channel pollution.

I am probably the catalyst behind Gregg's announcement having complained 
to him about personal abuse.


I will solve the problem by restrictiing my access to the Rebol community 
to the Mailing List.

That's pretty bad.  If someone is being abusive .. then in no way 
should that person be allowed to drive away users here .. IMHO.

I agree Graham.
A community that drives away members is not a good model.

I'm glad Gregg has taken the initiative to remind us why we are here 
in the first place.

Peter, your announcement at the top of the Announce group is abuse. 
  I did delete the old announcement group because I accidentally 
made a few errant posts.. I looked at the FEW old posts that were 
already there, and seeing that they were all now irrelevant (time 
based), I deleted the group to clean it up.  I then made the single 
post that I had intended to make.


You took it upon yourself to delete the group again.. with my single 
post, and then make accusations towards me (at the top of this group) 
as if i had some kind of alterior motive?  Why did you feel to delete 
my one post?   Shall I cry 'personal abuse'?

(ulterior)

Eitherway, I'm gonna bail.  Instead of intelligent debate, I'm spending 
more time defending myself.  Besides.  The whole Rebol dynamic seems 
to be continuously grinding towards a halt.  

Have a nice life. 

(PS - Calling anyone a 'god' IS apple polishing)

Nothing to do ? Test your ego on "AltME" !  :)  C'mon guys, have 
some fun. Do some work. Whatever. Let's not get to this.

bump

hehehehe the RASTA serie I'm dead laughing good name  !!! Umbelivable 
!

Unforgetable I mean  ;)

Agreed, I had a little chuckle too :-)

interesting thing I use a html/php interfaces netgear eth/wifi routeur 
but I think with rebol this kind of config interface could be very 
much interesting

Wouldn't it be a much smaller load on the router as well? Seems that 
way to me, anyhow.

RASTA was the only name I could find that any one could remember, 
it was easy to pronounce, and has some meaning related to networking. 
RASTA means the way in Hurdu.

Who's the target market?

these are not home use devices are they?

I am glad you guys like it ;-)

Not et all. These are use for WISP (Wireless ISP), or HotSpot providers.

They can be used on the battle field by the military too. But I am 
pacifist so I had not persued that road.

I just joined up my office with a wireless provider

we switched from DSL to wireless radio

As far as I see on the site RASTA is dedicated to outdoor application 
like neighbour of houses

the radio modem is tiny .. and battery backed up as well.

jaime that was not a bad remark not at all in fact I like the RASTA 
acronym it's pretty fun  ;)

Perhaps I could rebroadcast my cable signal using these devices to 
my neighbours ?  :)

yes and to all your block ;)

setup community LANs ...

it's a hight range difusion interface  ;)

Sounds perfect for where I'm at right now...  Small community with 
several friends nearby.  I'm always helping them with their computers 
anyhow.   With a couple of these I could have us all connected. ;-)

Graham: Yes, you could rebroadcast the signal to your neighbors

That would be kind of cool. Pity I don't like many of my neighbors 
in my current neighborhood

Well, my current building at least :-)

As matter fact I had build a lot of those networks close to 100 sites.

One of the networks is spread over 50 km radius connecting the stores 
of a retail chain in the city of bogota. This is going to be the 
next case study.

what's the cost of a broadcast unit, and a receiver?

Between 1300 and 1500 depending on the number of radios

For single cpu client access we had the "Horizon" cards they are 
at $80

For Small Biz LAN we are coming out with a unit that will go around 
$400. I am trying to make it close to $200, but still struggling 
with some costs.

what radio frequency is used?

what's the broadcast range for the small biz lan unit

2.4 Ghz with 2400 series. We will have in about a two months the 
5800 series which operates at 5.8Ghz, possibly at 4.9Ghz too.

With a good antenna the small biz lan can do 30 km

2.4 is the same frequency as the 802.11 g isn't it?

Yes, and a lot of other stuff, telephones, meters, etc.

My father's house is about 50m down the road .. so if I were to get 
one of these small biz units, mount it outside on the roof, and he 
were to get a radio modem, I would be able to provide him with access 
to my cable internet?

Jaime - where is the rebol advantage?

probably 100m and not 50 m
