I mean I have a wireless network others connect to (a small ISP if you
will) in Boquete and Valle Escondido here in Chiriqui in the Rep. of
Panama.

I have a relay site in a backyard, my diskless system in their house (I
provide them Internet access free in exchange).  The business customers I
have also have a diskless system of mine running off CD-ROM.  I hand them
a cable to plug into their hub and give them a set of IPs.

Nice thing, they can't change it, and power outages can't hose it.

Clearer???
