Okay, here's my stupid question of the day.
I am currently setting up a 'POC WISP' with about 5 to 10 homes in my neighborhood (loosely qualifies as a neighborhood). My neighbors and I will share a T1. My current proposed configuration is:
CSU/DSU -- Cisco 1602 w/T1wic -- Linux/StarOs/??? -- switch/hub -- to an internal network and also to a smartbridge Pro Outdoor Router with a 120 degree/12dbi antenna. Client side is a Smartbridge CPE, connect to an antenna on oneside and a to their network/PC.
What I need to know, does it make sense to use the StarOS in the proposed configuration, or should I just roll my own Firewall/DNS/Cache server.
