[CLUG] [OT] DSL in Blarney

[Cain Hopwood]

Another option would be to try and find a wireless relay point and see if
you can bounce a signal into Cork and hook into the Corkwan wireless network
(that's currently in testing mode).

Our current bandwidth is only a 512K link, but that's fed out of Penrose
Wharf so we can *relatively* easily upgrade it as required.

It's going to depend on a lot of line of sight issues etc. An option, if
there's another appropriately sited school closer in, would be to get the
principal to talk to them and organise a relay.

Corkwan has all the gear, all you'd need to do is locate the sites, get
permission etc.
