Re: [44net] 44net problems - was: 44net cool toys

Thanks Steve I couldn't have put it better myself.. Thanks also to the others on this list that refrained from flaming and to those who were and are sympathetic. Brian suggested that my application for an allocation might have been lost in the portal changes and this may be true but Samantha was also helpful however she was in the throes of a move of QTH and things do tend to get a bit deferred at such times I will re-apply through the portal in a day or two but it still leaves me more than a trifle confused as to how I am going to connect. Should I apply for a tunnel or a gateway? What size allocation is recommended for someone like myself with lots of on air services. Can I set up a raspberry pi to look after all of the internet side of things, particularly the security problems I see mentioned so frequently on here and if so is there any advice or guidance on how to do so or a preferred distro (wheezian)?.. And of course from my point of view can I retain my Fritzbox modem/router and connect successfully though that to both my standard 125 I.P. and the 44 I.P. at the same time The price of power in VK3 is through the roof and looks like continuing to climb so as many of my 24/7 ham services that can be raspberryfied the better. I have no problem in allowing other hams onto the network through my system and in fact many do so through the other services that I offer from here. I look froward to any advice that can be offered on where I should start to become 44 literate. 73's Tony VK3API Grumpy old man par excellence On 21/03/2014 10:45 AM, Steve Wright wrote:
