hello all

I'm "N0AGI" (http://N0AGI.COM/) - and i am new to this forum.  I am really enjoying this Broadband-Mesh idea. I currently have 3 Linksys WRT54GS nodes in a mesh network in my neighborhood and I'm trying to add more eventually.  I like the idea and the potential this has to offer.

Can someone point me to a list of apps that are available for download into these nodes and a "how to" material. I see there are some links in the "Applications for the mesh" link here.  anything more for the sharing and how to install these on the nodes

Thank you in advance

When I started...  That's what I was doing - looking for apps...

But then I figured out - anything you can do over the internet, you can do over the mesh!  Have a favorite app you use on the net?  You can also use it over the mesh.  Yeah, you may have to tweak it a bit and it may not work like it did but most stuff works just fine!

The "rub" seems to be that a lot of apps nowdays use servers to talk to out there in the internet.  Most of our stuff doesn't need Internet bound servers - that's the real difference.  Because not everyone has their nodes connected to the Internet.

Hi,

The general consensus is not to run apps on the nodes but connect devices to the nodes with services running on them.

I posted a few ideas on this thread: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/view-postlist/forum-4-applications/topic-1367-has-anyone-found-something-like-this-for-the-bbhn.html
