SCN: building wireless community networks

[J. Johnson]

As to using wireless connections for a LAN, aside from any issues of
connecting to the Internet, there is a parallel in the old Fidonet.  That
was a network of users that regularly made dialup connections to transfer
mail.  And as local ("free") dialing areas often overlap, it was possible
to extend the network quite a ways without excessive long-distance
charges. However, I believe ready access to the Interent supplanted it.
