>
> I'm going to replace the second channel doing backhaul of an

>
> I'd like this system to support several radios on board, as

> WIPOP/microWIPOP locations.

> So, I'm wondering if I use a microATX board, and say, 3-4
> radios on board, will the SF-4300 (TurboCell Satellite for
> FlashROM) be able to make the

> to the main WIPOP in TC mode, and the other radio slot would

> The other alternative would be for Karlnet to offer a low

> then slotting radios for each of my PtP links to my
> neighborhood 802.11b (where due to the small numbers of
> clients, hidden-node is not a problem) microWIPOPs. One
> large advantage to
> this approach is that I can use a StarOS system running on
> one micoATX system with two radios to make a microWIPOP. No

> system to give us the tools to do that kind of thing. I'd
> love to do it with Karlnet, only I'm not sure that the
> flexibility exists in the product line to do it economically.
