Increasing the transmission strength will not necessarily increase range. Rx sensitivity is important too. Sure, you might be able to broadcast your signal further, but if your rx sensitivity hasnt been altered, you will still only get as far away as the remote device can transmit at its normal power,
I dont know if this is any use, but try Tmetric http://freshmeat.net/projects/tmetric/?to pic_id=87
sor of based on pathchar, its a bandwidth discovery tool which from memory gives a traceroute-like output, including bandwidth estimates from jump to jump
If they dont know what IT is, then why are they in the position they are today?
Australian government have been making backward IT decisions for years, just look at their lovely ammendment to the cummunications act with regard to censorship.
Well, most of my thoughts have been pretty much posted above.
I am both a channel admin and a server admin, but the channel admin work I do is far more important, as it is for a national radio show, who does interviews in the "cyber lounge". Recently, these bots have appeared, and drive me up the wall when the channel is quiet. Sometimes when I log back in in the morning, there are just screens full of chatscan join/parts. Simple way I fixed this was to set the channel mode +p (private), but in doing this, the channel will no longer show up in channel listings.
ENow should consider having a web based "opt-out" interface, where you simply put in the name of your channel, and the network from a drop down list, hit ok - it its erased from the join/part list.
Telstra is the biggest Telecommunications Network in Australia, and as the market was regulaetd by the government for a vast number of years, they have a complete monopoly on the Telecommunications Industry in Australia.
Having said that, there are many many medium sized ISPs in Australia, but they are unable to compete for the simple reason that if they were competitive, Telstra wuold find a way to tighten the stranglehold on the market, and essentially make the business unprofitable.
Free Internet is very much in its infancy here, but while the telecommunications giant owns the routers, gateways, exchanges and phone lines, I simply cant see Free internet taking off in australia, no matter how many subscribers an ISP obtains

Theres a $9.95 account, free for the first seven days as a trial, then you pay a once off 9.95, to provide basic access to the world
