Paolo p.s: a question for you but i don't know if you can help me I have a box of liquorice, since it is metal, I wanted to use it to put forward a few watts who has the USB Side Up Band and LSB Low Side Band and operating on the frequency of 7 MHz, would be nice to put a GNU DSP can i find something in internet? you have any news for me? thanks a lot !

can i find something in internet? you have any news for me?

Do you mean the dialtone? It is generated by Asterisk AFAIK and can be customized to match the dialtone in your country. By default we use the US dialtone. Regarding ADSL and Internet sharing: A Mesh-Potato does not contain a ADSL modem. But a Mesh-Potato can be connected to the LAN port of a ADSL modem. The MP can be configured as mesh Internet gateway, so people in the mesh can share Internet access. Given that you don't want to do things like advanced traffic shaping, as the MP doesn't have much CPU power. The MP can also be configured to provide Internet access to a LAN segment connected to the Ethernet port, using the mesh as Internet uplink. Cheers, Elektra Hello Paolo -

Other thing: router wi-fi can't distribute internet service, to work they need to be in combination with router or modem wi-fi, or to sniff the service of any other person, or to be connected to an network that is intentioned to offer internet for free and gratis, why is interest is the sharing, help the neighbour and why internet is a cultural heritage which belongs to the hackers. so a router wi-fi can't be connected directly to a line ADSL, is possible to work on layers ? or is totally impossible ? Have a GNU Year 2010 from Paolo Pleasure to contact you Elektra, we saw to the Ninux Day in November to the Defrag_ i have any query for you :

how telco such Telecom generate the signal necessary to phone ?
our trunks in italy are from 2040 to 2400 Hz

if they generate a signal, i suppose is necessary to have a generator of signal correct or wrong ?

the interest is to bypass the Telecom, classic TELCO and generate the signal which is necessary to phone, then i would like to know how they provide to shift from classic line to ADSL or to any other request of service.

this could be interesting don’t pay anymore the service to TISCALI.

so a router wi-fi can’t be connected directly to a line ADSL, is possible to work on layers ? or is totally impossible ?

Have a GNU Year 2010

Ministrel can choose from all available data rates in 802.11b/g (1,2,5.5,6,11,12,18,24,36,48,54 Megabit) and it will determine the best speed for each neighbor node that it can talk to. Lower rates have better receiver sensitivity and more transmit power. Hence fixing the speed to a certain data rate is not recommended for the overall performance of the network.

One possible trade off is collisions, with a high bit rate the chances of two packets colliding is low. - David #Fowl – yes good idea, it would be worth testing a lower bit rate to increase range.

I know when I force my little home AP to 11mbps I get much better range. With such low utilisation of the WiFi, would it be possible to reduce the xmit speed to increase reliability.
