[PLUG] pppd fails

Wed May 1 20:51:41 UTC 2002

$100/month rent explains a lot.  Have you considered satellite?  It's a
little more costly than cable or DSL, but significantly less than a
fractional T1.  I think it's about 256K of bandwidth.  The uplink and
downlink time could make latency an issue for delay sensitive apps (internet
games, voice etc.).  Just a thought.

I checked into it for my house, but I have too many trees blocking the
southern sky.  I couldn't get wireless either.

Good luck,

CurtisE

$100/month rent....

My thot exactly!

The peninsula has no cable or dsl, or .... If we can get 10 customers
interested in $60/month, they'll give us wireless for free for getting
the project started. I'm thinking of getting frac-T1 brought in, and
setting up my own pop for those same 10 customers. But until that
happens, I'm stuck with dialup on a long wire; probably limiting
myself to something significantly less than 56K.
