Right now, I'm using the satellite data from hughes.net. Its not the
high speed bandwidth advertised. The power supply was designed to be
plugged into the wall. [that's a period] But if you live out here, you
know the power goes out. but if you plug their power supply into your
UPS, you find the damn thing blocks the next two backed up power
outlets. Hello?

I've tried the 900mhz wireless transceiver. which needs a clear LOS
(Line of Sight). I like living in the woods; and I'm not going to
clearcut just so I can get a clear line of sight to the ISP
transmitter tower. Hello?

I also have a place in a deep hollow by a spring fed trout stream. No
way will any of the commecially available wireless transmitters work
down there. You cant even use a cell phone. Hello?

No, I'm thinking about 180 mhz, kinda close to TV channel 8, but...
out here, the nearest TV channel 8 transmitter is 300 miles away.
Besides, TV antennas are being scrapped all the time; everyone is
switching to Dish TV. Out in rural areas, RFI/EMI from ham gear no
longer bothers anyone watching TV.

Besides, seems like there mite be pulse emitters/detectors that work
at this speed. No Carrier wave, no IF. Technically, its *NOT*
"radio". Ordinary tuners would ignore it; it aint AM nor FM. A 12 db
antenna would be about 13' foot long. Awta go 30 miles to an ISP in
some town that stays up serving users on the weekends. I've tried all
three of the local small town ISPs, which have a nasty habit of
crashing on friday nite, and not coming back online til monday
morning.

I called "support" one time to bitch, and mentioned that I used Linux.
The response: "What's Linux?"

But what's the best option to go from full duplex into the PC? will
the standard LAN multiplex at 180mhz? RS232?

Try a full duplex repeater using solar cells at the top of the hill.

While he is "out in the boonies", the other end of any Internet access
link that he establishes will have to be in a residential or municipal
environment in order to get access to Internet facilities. That alone
puts some obvious restrictions on what he will be able to do.

Big old dish from an obsolete tv microwave system aimed at the city with
another one aimed down the hill. Depending on path loses, you may just
be able to use two horns from one dish to the other. The first thing to
be done is to find what you have to work with at the top of the hill.
You need to find the existing signal levels.. IF there is a high
mountain toward the side of the signal path you might be able to bounce
it off that mountain if it is mostly rock.

have fun.
