We've been experiencing a real boost in the HSMM-MESH activity in our
local area.

  http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/visual-of-a-mesh-network.html

Lots and lots of blue boxes (WRT54G*) and now Ubiquity Bullets and
other WiFi devices have been moved to OpenWRT and configured for the
HSMM-MESH(1) firmware.   That's working well but then folks ask "ok -
now what do I do with this?"   Since it's "TCP" the answer is,
"anything TCP."   But what's that?   I have a list of potential
services - http://nw-mesh.wikidot.com/meshservices -  but still, on a
Windows box, there's more questions and many challenges actually
putting this to work.

If only there was some canned application that provided many of the
stock *NIX services and tied them in with existing HAM packet networks
- you know, like JNOS does...   :-)

So tonight - or real soon now - I'll get the new Windows JNOS (THANKS
MAIKO!!) running on the little netbook I'm using as a Server for the
NW-MESH system and start adding the services to the announcements on
the mesh.   This is going to be grand fun.

(1).  The HSMM-MESH code for the WRT54G's has a big-little endian bug.
 If you want to set up a WRT54G for use with other OpenWRT Mesh boxes
- ask me where to get the NW-MESH installs.
