I take a lot of pictures, and also Scuba dive. I have found Ike Lite makes a wide range of housings for cameras. They aren't exactly cheap, a plastic zip lock might suit your purposes better, but this housing gives you full functionality even underwater.
Hope this helps.
I must agree here. Working for a large company, 10,000+ users that have a 45 Meg Internet connection I have seen first hand even the most powerful Linux solution can not handle the load and log files that are needed.
We ended up pulling out a cluster of 2 linux boxes load balancing NAT connections and replacing them with the PIX 535 firewalls. This was without this solution handling any of the VPN requirements. VPN is a whole other ball game.
Cisco is in this business, and the stuff is priced reasonable enough.
Memphis Networx is one that is owned by the city. They promised to only provide backhaul services to begin with, now they are competing with local ISPs. World Spice and Time Warner Telecom are really put in a bad position by cities doing these things.
How can a company compete when the playing field is not level?
I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but odds are you want to make sure the user authenticates to a Radius server. Any one of the boxes mentioned above will allow you to controll the splash page, etc. Colubris is actually an Access Point also, so it kills two birds with one stone. Your users associate to it, it NAT's out through the Alvarion box (which accepts one MAC address, right?). Bingo, problem solved. Then you need to set up authentication and process your money....Done deal.
Merrell makes the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. They are designed for hiking, so they are extremely light weight. The Chameleon series is what I use, and there is no metal in them. I also travel a lot, so I make sure I'm wearing these when it is time for the airport metal detector. The rest of my collection I have to take off. They run about $100 - $150 but well worth the investment.
I forgot to mention they support accounting of the usage as well. They also autodetect the network settings on the PC of the user. So if they have a static IP it will work, even if it isn't on the same range.
You can also do SMTP forwarding to a mail server you controll for spam filtering if you desire. These companies have already done all the leg work you are about to embark on, read up on the technologies even if you don't use it.
I set up these types of systems for hotels. I've found that Nomadix and Colubris both make access points with authentications servers built in, perfect for your goal here. They both support limits on a per session basis, etc. Probably in the $500 - 1,000 range for the entire project.
Memphis isn't to bad of a place, make sure you are in East Memphis. South Memphis, the area around Graceland, isn't a place to get out of the car. East Memphis/Germantown is fine. There isn't a lot of technology here in Memphis, except for the FedEx items. Nothing is really being developed here in the area.
Using them in the manner you are supposed to; however, usually I have them mounted in the warm place (between 80 - 95 degrees). I think heat brakes them...
I mount them in the so that they are hidden. Always on a UPS; however, there is usually a bit more heat where I mount them than in the room itself. Not out side their suggested operating tempatures though, 80 - 90 degrees usually. I've had Cisco gear mounted in a room as hot as 110 with no problems there.
I see so many of them die, because I install them all over. In hotels, in homes, and businesses. Everyone wants the cheapest product possible, and I try to steer them to what I know works through the rough conditions.
The distance will be effected by how much power the FCC will allow us to use in this frequency range. It will may vary from country to country. The IEEE Standard covers how the thing is going to communicate between vendors products (Lucent and Cisco have to play nice with each other).
The bandwidth allowed will depend on how many channels we are allowed to use, or the product will let us use. One GHZ channels should be able to pump DS3 or higher speeds...Let's keep our fingers crossed.
I'll be happy to beta test any gear:)
I for one will not pay for a subscription for software. If software companies think they can force this upon us they are wrong. With as many free applications and other companies not doing this it just gives us more of a reason to move the average user away from MicroSoft. I for one will install and support Linux on my friends and families PC before I install software that forces a network connection and subscription fees.
Just my two cents.

Why bother using another device? The router that he has is a Cisco IOS router. It supports the traffic shaping commands built into the IOS.
access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq
access-list 102 permit tcp any eq any
interface dsl 0
traffic-shape group 101 256000
interface ethernet 0
traffic-shape group 102 256000
simple and to the point. If you any more buckets go to Cisco's web site.
