[sclug] Reading Community Wireless

[Hamlesh Motah]

I had a small student wireless community around where I used to live
(http://www.readinglan.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=97).

I have now moved house, so if anyone lives around the Northumberland
Avenue area I would be keen on getting a WAN going again.

Kind regards.

Hamlesh Motah.

I have ADSL at home, so I do not need an ISP, but am certianly
interested in free wifi aout & about....

As and when I build a decent AP, I'll probably open it up.
