Would 802.11b be allowed at the event(s)? I seem to recall last year's manual saying no RF emmisions other than robots, and cellphones. We have an old StarLan hub (48-port IIRC) that we'd be willing to bring to Sillicon Valley, and Nationals. We could also bring a box or two for serving databases and what-not. Personally, I know PHP and some PostgreSQL, and am willing to help with the scouting system however I can. Let me know what is best!
Yes, We used 802.11b at 3 regionals and EPCOT last year with mixed results. We asked FIRST first and they responded that it's ok 2 use. Of course, who knows what this year's rules might say? Of note is that 802.11b and X10 camera don't play very nice together...

Hubs aren't as good as switches (has to do with packet collisions and bandwidth sharing). Also if by 'old' you mean it doesn't support 100Mbps than -yikes- that won't be effective enough to handle a video/movie server. I think we'll have enough hardware for EPCOT. In some locations it's even planned to use fibre optic cable!

Serving up local pages is not really needed, unless there is absolut ly no way to connect to the Inet at an event. For those of you with a 'plus' series of Nextel phones, or newer, you are never more than a few mouse clicks away from connecting to the Inet...so far as you have wireless web in your service plan. It's not super-fast, but does the job for the size of data we manipulate.

Later,
