| 286390 | 2004-10-31 00:55:00 | Hey, Can someone explain to me what the point of the Wireless Nodes are at www.nodedb.com? Are these people who have access points and boosters who want to bridge connections into one big WLAN? Or what? Sounds interesting to me. |

| 286391 | 2004-10-31 01:07:00 | You've pretty much got the idea. Not all of them are live nodes though - some of them are people who are interested, but haven't yet got any gear because there is nobody close by to connect to. | segfault (655) | ||
