[HLUG] Presentation to FoE and the Green Party

[Paul Stenning]

Hi all,

I _may_ be able to bring along the Vodafone 3G Broadband Router from 
work.  Assuming there is a reasonable signal this would give an Internet 
connection equivalent to about 1Mb ADSL to any PC with a wireless 
Ethernet adaptor or a wired Ethernet connection to the unit (it has four 
Ethernet sockets).  This could be useful for demonstrating the Internet 
applications.

This is not guaranteed though - it depends if the boss is travelling or 
not (he uses it when he's away).

The system compresses image files to save bandwidth, so some pages will 
not look as good as they should.  Also please do not consider 
downloading big distro files etc with it.  We only have about 2GB/month 
bandwidth limit, so a 700MB CD ISO file will take quite a chunk of that.

Paul.
