Hope you are able to make the cards work. I have a pair of returned stock
coming back in sometime soon, I may try to fire them up since I work at a ISP
and the best repeater site around is just up the mountain (line of site). I
would gladly trade in my ISDN centrex line for a 2 mbps half-duplex link on a
amateur freq. My primary IP gateway is using a AP and the ISA card, works
great! Amazing what an old 386 with DOS/JNOS can do... My secondary gateway has
the ISDN line and is much nicer than a modem, but not as nice as the 4 Mbps 5
foot dish at work! Oh well... Maybe when the telecom war is over we will all
have fiber for cable/tele/network and maybe electric too.... Since I'm rambling
I'll add one more ridiculous comment: Now if I could just figure out how to
catch the energy released from splitting the particals in water (cold fusion)
so I wouldn't have an electric bill (I get water and sewer free)..... Anyway,
here's the address for those parabolics:
R. Meyers Communications
