I know you can connect to an AllStar node without opening the firewall. Echolink and IRLP I have on idea. I travel a lot and found that most of the time hotel WiFi is bad. I have used a SprintPCS USB Internet card. Works great. I'm think of using a Virgin Mobile (Pay as you go) USB Internet card. VM is Sprint. So the idea is that you can turn it on when you want. $40 a month for unlimited Internet. David On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 5:28 AM, Peter Elke <pete.elke@esquared.com> wrote:
Hi All,
This may be an obvious and I am just not "getting it" but here it goes.
We are setting up an 440 & 902Mhz Emergency communications system with a repeater node in a suite case sized Pelican box. In the box is 902/927Mhz Repeater, 12volt Linux PC, WiFi Card + FOB.
The idea is that we could set this up (as an example) at a hotel near a wildfire command post. The local operator would make an always on outbound connection to a node used as an "inbound hub" via the hotel "guest wifi" or Ethernet.
My question is can a node create an outbound connection without any major firewall modifications? If not my other option will be to have linux create a SSL VPN connection to somewhere "outside" and VoIP UDP openly from there.
Any thoughts on this? Other ideas?
