Excellent - thanks.  BW and hardware won't be an issue where I think this would go. Today's Topics:   1. Hub vs Node? (Jim Aspinwall)   2. Re: Hub vs Node? (Steve Zingman)   3. Re: Hub vs Node?

Message-ID:     <1373181799.4087456.1455488689812.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" What if anything are the specific differences between a single node (tied to simplex, repeater, Pi box and headset...) that can presumably only accept one in-bound call/connect, and a hub, to which many can connect and bridge through/over? Given a certain amount of specialization or purpose/interest-built hubs I am interested in having a purpose-built hub for a few systems and users not exclusive but so as not to impose on others' hubs and traffic. What does it take to do this?
