Jen et al,
The problem with invisible is they are only interested in commercially viable villages, which unfortunately Freethorpe isnt. I have been to one of their meetings and what they do is put a leased line into a village and then setup a wireless network round the village, they seemed to be a bit unclear on the old security frount too, like talking about setting up a village server that all could access etc, this is not ideal as my missues (now with month old baby) runsa business from home..... hmmmm.

BTW good to see the interest is there, maybe a ALUG meeting on it?? :o) pref at the UEA, or I could see if we could get the village hall here, bit of a travel prob thou i feel. :o|
Travel is not normally too much of a problem. Meetings at Syleham, which is pretty remote are often quite well attended. ALUG people are always available for lifts if not directly from your location then from a nearby station/bus stop. Post to the list if you are having trouble getting to and from meetings you are sure to get some help.
If you can get a meeting aranged at your village hall go ahead we need more venues desperately. See http://www.alug.org.uk/articles/2001a/venuereq.html
Also I am very interested in village wireless wan projects having no chance of dsl/cable here in Suffolk in the forseeable future. Anybody want to do a talk or chat about it on IRC?
