Services

Its been some time since I last tried to use Jabber, but I have just upgraded mu Ubuntu 6.06 box to the latest round of patches.

Well Gaim happily connects to the Air-Stream Jabber server! w00t!

No to find which groups there are to see =)

Have compiled War§ow4.2 on my G3 wifi box and am running a dedicated War§ow server at betsuin.skye.wan (10.122.128.7)
Not all smooth sailing as I did want to run a bot or two however due to what appears to be an big/little endian issue can not get bots to spawn - this is a non-fatal issue and the server runs up just fine sans-bots. Will look at solutions as time allows.

War§ow4.2 can be downloaded from the internet at http://www.warsow.net/?page=download or from my ftp at ftp://betsuin.skye.wan

ENJOY!

Since failing at my attempts in getting an FTP Server going behind my firewall setup (damn dynamic ports, too hard CBF, and any other excuse) I've instead setup a Bit Torrent Tracker as a bit of an experimental exercise, and since there doesn't appear to be one on the AS network as yet. I'm aware that a BT Tracker is a bit out of place on a network such as Air-Stream but I wanted to do it anyway :)

The interface will annoy you with login requests which can be happily cancelled 7 or 8 times before they disappear, so I've setup a Guest account:
user: Guest
password: BTT

I have put up a webcam for those interested in looking out some random window of mine:
http://betsuin.apana.wan/webcam/webcam.html

The actual camera was plugged into my laptop. The cgi wgot the image off of the remote machine via a wifi link. The html code simply refreshed every 5 seconds. Now it's plugged into my G3 wifi router and refreshes every 3 seconds.

Enjoy!

The interlinking of amateur stations using the Air-Stream Wireless Network is not prohibited by section 11 of the Amateur Licence Determination provided non-amateurs cannot gain access to the amateur stations involved. When this requirement is satisfied, the network connection is equivalent to a private line. Users must hold a current amateur licence and communications must be isolated from the general public and other members through the use of software, hardware and operational measures.

Some software that can be used include:
* http://www.echolink.org/
* http://www.irlp.net/

Air-Stream members now have access to a new profile administration panel.

members.air-stream.org allows you to update your important contact information and change your password regularly. Give it go and let us know what you think.

Air-Stream Wireless is a horizontally layered network architecture and funding model that separates physical access from service provisioning.

In other words Air-Stream Wireless is all about physical access rather than content, which is by the most part, provided by the users of this network.

Although some content and services are offered to members upon joining the association, they have been offered freely by existing members and so are subject to conditions.

Note: Not all services are listed here and may change from time to time consequently no responsibility is given for bandwidth or service continuity.
