I suggest not using PC to connect to the AMPRNET
get a small mikrotik router it support IPIP it operate on low voltage and consume nothing I have it working here with this setup
as for connecting radio you can connect with wireless lan as the fellows do on hamnet see here https://hamwan.org/
by that you will get high speed and wireless gear dont take too much power its less the 25 Watt 2M radio
Or U can connect to 9600 Baud or 1200 baud on VHF and UHF ham band and work Packet radio (i personally not recommend due to the low speed)

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ hello everybody,
let me shortly present myself and the matter: working in IT for more than 30 years, experienced with network devices (switch, routers, firewalls, IDS/IPS), programming (C and some others), good knowledge on protocols and RFCs; hosts under my control are not allowed to run anything else than FreeBSD.
but absolutely not experienced about radio transmission/devices/requirements so had carefully read http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Quickstart and feel it is not suitable for my problem: I am looking how to arrange for an internet-connected PC located somewhere in a remote village of Bangladesh with no local power source. Quickstart - AMPRNet - wiki.ampr.orghttp://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Quickstart wiki.ampr.org So you're a licensed amateur radio operator, you're interested in IP networking, and you want to combine the two. AMPRNet is for you. This Quickstart guide can help ...
while it seem almost easy to power the PC with solar-cells battery is it not clear for me:
- if and how is possible to use 44net to internet-connect the remote site via RF, feel it just a matter to have sufficient "radio power" to reach a 44net bridge, a PC/router and some radio devices but unsure. - what kind of radio devices are suitable for that use (or: how far can radio waves go with a "poor" power source?) - locations (if any) of local-radio-amateur joined in 44net that can bridge some internet traffic from/to such a "leaf-site"
moreover my limit are:
- money: while it's a personal initiative have no founding except my incoming and thus cheap is a must - reliability: can't be on site to fix any possible problem as them arise, so "good" devices are required
as stated in RFC1925 : <<good, fast, cheap: choose two, you can't have all three>> implies that am aware that "fast" can't be get; just need directions and some "good" reference for the HW where I can learn details as power requirements and for the SW (but I guess 44net is the right place).
wish you nice day
