Has anyone looked at/experimented with/thought about using thin client hardware such as the line of HP boxen as a basis for a simple (ie 1 or 2 radio) node? I'm thinking that, with a CF image plugged in, you can use 800meg-1ghz processors, a couple of USB ports, 10/100 network connection machines that are in the 50-60 dollar range for used equipment, that also run on 12v (the HP that I had from a couple of companies ago had a 12v brick to power it...the gypsy life of an IT security guy, right?) Just wondering. Thinking of gin'ning up a mobile repeater for whatever reason (because I can?), and, to me, 50 or 60 bucks for a processor fits right in with my "hams are notoriously cheap" theory. Discuss?/criticize?/shoot down?/??? -- 73 Bryan WB0YLE In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
