[44net] Something simple

I am interested in something simple. I am not interested in creating a Linux box to do my routing, as I see no need for it. It's almost worse than having a network that is vendor specific!! I don't tell you how to run your internet.. you don't tell me what router I have to use. I use Mikrotik for my edge technology, just because it's what I am familiar with. For me it's easy enough. I am interested in creating some links with others, hopefully in the NW towards the Seattle area. I have my own system design that I am planning on implementing starting early this fall. I have no interest however in trying to use some script (nice work on it though..) to make it work, but would rather have some common assembly of networks that can connect to each other. Unfortunatley, until this is done in a large enough fashion, it looks like i am talking static routes to and from some other networks. My intention is not to rock the boat of what has been done here, but it seem like there is little direction of how the network is assembled and coming to a common point of presence. until one person or gorup comes up and offers some stability of how to route the network accordingly, I fear my use of AMPR is only for some of it's tunneling ability with the use of our 44/8 addressing. I had no intentions of it before, so if I end up not using them later, now loss on my end. Let me know if anyone is interested in creating some more static links, and / or trying to do some sort of edge router that can have an open communications standard, and not a customized (could otherwise spelled proprietary) protocol in the middle. Thanks to you all and have a great day! -- Rod Ekholm KC7AAD kc7aad(a)gmail.com Spokane, WA (509) 435-3400
