World: r3wp

I had my tools available in OpenBSD, Win, Linux, and FreeBSD.

well, I think very important can be that rebol server part - If you 
would be able to create scripting language (which looks simplicity-wise 
very similar to rebol on mikrotik) for such purposes using dialect 
for e.g., it would open your device to configure whatever.

and PC part? You could be ok with core on osx too and textual console, 
like in old DOS days or Linux install screens ...

That sounds good to me.  I'd like to have the ability to control 
the packets coming through Jaime's Rasta device.

graham you could put the rasta midway between your house and your 
dads house to minimize range to both

what is RASTA in english? Does it mean anything? :-)

It means "The Way" in hurdu

Kind of when you ask which way I find the drug store and they tell 
you go here and there.

So for me it is close to what a router does. It tell the packets 
which way to go. And the the kernel put them in the right street, 
I mean interface.

Jaime, I sent you a private question regarding your quote.

Replied.

BTW. Pekr we have some graphical tools that let you construct this 
type of instructions very easily. My objective has been that anyone 
should be able to manage a unit. But I am getting ahead the game 
here this is coming in our next releases. I think is going to blow 
the eyes of some of our competitors.

Tomc, I'm not sure how that would work ... apart from sticking it 
on to a public utility lampost ... I wouldn't be able to get a wire 
to it.  

Or, perhaps I could use power other ethernet and just get a very 
long ethernet cable :)

Graham is your goal 50km or 50m?

100 m ..

.1 km

one bad point for rebol visibility is that the fact you use REBOL 
into RASTA is not specified

secret weapon ...

on the web site I mean

He doesn't need to specify it there, but we can point it out on another 
site. assuming you're okay with that jaime

saying you use REBOL will not explain  how you use it and how you 
manage to use it .. it would show that REBOL is a viable solution 
for this kind of applications

Graham 100m is a very easy link for us to do. You don't need any 
special equipment. One of the cards that I mention will suffice.

Only thing you need is a Rasta in your roof. But I must say that 
it depends on the terrain and if there are too many obstacles.

heh. That's an amusing image.

but maybe graham wan to rentabilise his cable link by sharing it 
with lot of people

I've got line of sight to my dad's house

We are deciding on making a press release a mentioning obsd and rebol

I can afford a $200 RASTA :)

:)

sure and if you share your cable link with 10 people that paid you 
10 $ a month then you will rentabilise your invest in 2 month ,)

The $200 is not an access point it is a client device.

i'd have to pay more to get faster cable ...

so, what do I need to rebroadcast my cable signal as radio ?

graham you can turn to a provider ;)

GRaham the basic card and a one to one config of the DHCP (oui server 
192.168.0.1 and one client with no ip ;))

A Rasta 2421-D or 2421-T. Maybe I should think about a single radio 
unit. So far in the market that I had sold it has not being requested.

And these cost a lot more??

Yes those are the range of $1300 to $1500.

I am in the process of closing a deal with Jaime on the purchase 
of a D and a T Rasta unit.  Looking forward to testing the units.... 
 I was impressed with the Rasta Jaime allowed us to connect with 
at the hotel during the Rebol DevCon last year.

so, what does the small biz unit do then?  I'm now quite confused

Brian, would you use something else apart from 'difference ?
this is an existing mezzanine function

drat. okay.

Nice tutorial Brian.

One way to notice very fast if you are reusing  words is to start 
a session with
  protect-system
or add it to your user.r file.
It can prevent stoopid coding errors --  like the time I wrote
    return: true
rather than
    return true

(that failed much later than you'd expect, and in a very strange 
way)

Excellent tip, thanks you sunanda

Are you providing printable views ?

no, not yet. It's definitely on the list though. Is that fairly straightforward 
with MakeDoc by any chance?

As it is, you have to print each page separately ...

Yeah, that's been bugging me since day one. :-)

makedoc just gives you one very long page .. so that should be okay
