Gateway using Wireless access / WIFI   Message List  
Reply Message #7084 of 14943 |
Hello Everyone:

I am an owner of a analog repeater operating in Queens, NY. I started
experimenting with Echolink and in a short time realized that the platform falls
short. Then I read about D-Star and the Internet Gateway, Wow!

The site where my repeater is at has no Internet access. As such while
operating Echolink, I had a remote at my home with Internet access which worked
well for the most part. I don't believe that I will be able to this with D-Star
operating remotely.

My question, with a notebook computer using Linux would I be able to configure a
wireless device to seek out a WIFI network and provide and Internet gateway to
the system?

Thanks in Advance,

Artie
