If you want to access the Internet in a way that doesn't reveal your physical location (much), buy access from Metricom. They sell Internet access via radios. A small part-15 (900Mhz) $500 radio modem is needed, plus a few dozen bucks/month (thereabouts). If you use a yagi antenna, that will reduce your emissions to mostly one direction. If you're in line-of-sight with one of their poletops, you can point a telescope in that direction, and transmit only when you *don't* see a truck bristling with antennas. Every radio has a serial number, and they record who's got what, so they could cut you off much, much easier than catching you. For more information, see <http://www.metricom.com>. Same thing can be done with radiomail, but the speed is slower and the radios and service are more expensive. And, they can still cut you off. Of course, part-time connectivity is problemmatic, because you need to receive mail at all times. Of course, you could use a mail hub in a "safe" country, but then you're tied to a government again. -- -russ <nelson@crynwr.com> http://www.crynwr.com/crynwr/nelson.html Crynwr Software | Crynwr Software sells packet driver support | ask4 PGP key 11 Grant St. | +1 315 268 1925 (9201 FAX) | What is thee doing about it?
