Hi, y'all...

Just a very short note, as I'm about to go 600 miles up the road to
pick up the last two bins and my wife, to return to the boat,
permanently...

Wayne, just want to be clear how you are doing this. Is the unit kept
inside and you run a cable outside with the antenna on the end? Or is
the whole unit mounted outside? If the former, any indications on
signal loss per cable length?

Is there a way to feed this into a router? Would like to be able to use
my Vonage phone service and also feed other computers in my boat.

This is exactly the scenario I've been working on for over a year. I
can't take the time right now to elaborate, but I believe it can be
done - I just don't know exactly how at this moment.

I had a very brief period of success before my IP conflict dragon's
brother (I killed the original) came out and ate my connection.

Pop over to alt.internet.wireless for the ongoing discussions of my
travails, and you can also follow me on SSCA.org's forum.

As it is I am using a USB adapter on an active cable extension, and
it's mounted under the dodger, but that's only useful in static
conditions. I use it for Skype, Vonage (my softphone in the laptop,
this note, email and researching on the web for all the stuff I have
still to buy before we can leave.

NOT wireless - USB cable - and not feeding a vonage adapter box or
other computers - but it can be done...

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely
nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing,
messing-about-in-boats; messing about in boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter,
that's the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never
get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to
do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
