Again: explain how I can do this.
As you said above "... you can tap into mine - via RADIO!"
So I will do exactly that.
To make it even more clear: I take you up on your offer.
Now tell me how to do it.
Or are you just blowing smoke?

Not at all - Tuesday the "cable guy" will show up at my house to hook
up the cable modem. The following week I'll take and pass me Extra exam
(incidental). Then I'll start hooking up a couple of Proxim RF LAN
cards on a few machines, and setting up a Linux gateway box. I've got
a lead on some used Rohn 25G tower sections for about $40 a pop.
Before the tower is up(56ft?), I've got to design a NEMA box inclosure
to mount the gateway computer near the top of the tower(lots of
feedline loss at 2.4Ghz), in a survivable package(I don't want to be
climbing that thing any more than I have to). When it's done, you can
be the first to link your RF LAN PC thru my gateway - but if it is done
according to ARS rules, we need to keep the commercial content down
(keeping with the "spirit" of the law, I have no pecuniary interest,
you know).

If it's that simple why haven't you or TAPR or some other digigeek(s)
DONE it?? Don't tell me because of the regs. The FCC will grant
special experimental licenses to responsible hams who can demonstrate
sufficient potential value of the outputs of the experiments. There
are ten U.S. hams experimenting on the air around 5.1Mhz right now
under one of those licenses.

We had exactly that 15-20 years ago. Almost the entire East Coast was
blanketed with a readily-accesible ham vhf/uhf digital network and it
worked like a champ. I bought & sold expensive ham gear overnite via
that network just a few years ago. It's called 2m Packet, nobody home
these days.

Then get off your butt and take the bottle up to the 900 Mhz ham band
where there are wide open spaces galore, rub your damned bottle and
actually *DO* it instead of bleating and whining about it in the ham
newsgroups. i.e., put up or shut up "Leader".

Subject: PSK31 (and other modes) questions
I used to use my old desktop machine on Win 3.1 and the original G3PLX
software.
Worked fine as long as I used a genuine Soundblaster card. ( I had two other
cheap
imitations that didn't work. Too much distortion.) Then I tried to use my
old
IBM Thinkpad 350C (486SX-25 and no sound card) with the addition of an
outboard
sound module. The sound module worked fine but the machine ground to a total
halt
when it tried to run the PSK software. I don't think you're going to have
much
luck running PSK on that computer. Sorry.
