[Ravensfort] shameless groveling for help with moving, por favor

[Paul Gilbert]

Hi....

A hint about the TxDOT (Texas Dept of Transportation) Hot spots at the 
rest areas.

Look for the wi-fi antenna. Most likely a single fiberglass "Stick" or 
pole near one of the buildings. Get close to it.

The bandwidth going to our rest areas is a fractional T-1 at best and 
gives 128 to 256 K bandwidth that is shared by all the users at that 
rest stop.

Also, there have been issues lately with sign on and access, but our IT 
guys are working it out with the contractor.

If you really need bandwidth, find you a Mom-Pop motel of a Days Inn, La 
Quinta or something like that and park up close to the building and I 
bet you can sign onto their wi-fi system (did this during Hurricane Dean 
to send back a program to program a radio to my Bryan District radio 
tech from Coleman, Texas).

My office does not maintain them, but I saw the design before they went in.

In Service, HE Niklas Vasilevich
