If you want to try a wireless network run by a couple of known cypherpunk types, browse www.fish.com. Your packets will be moving over a 2 Mbit/sec wireless network, using AT&T WaveLan (www.ncr.com/pub/products/wavelan) ISA-bus cards in PC-clone routers built by KarlNet (www.karlbridge.com). I think of it as a NAN (Neighborhood Area Network). The security is only DES at the card level, but we hope to layer IPSEC (RFC 1825) on top. John
