Hello All,

I'm pleased to bring my PeoplesOpen.net (PON) deployment report!

BACKGROUND:
The test is done at a friend's house, due that I don't have my own
Internet access. He plans use it and report back to me, or in fact we
could add him our email list, can we add his email address?

Anyhow...

CONFLICT:
The Internet access is via a router that uses the 10.x.x.x Network. So
there were some conflicts due that the PicoStation2 runs on the same
Network.

SOLUTION:
The way to make the PicoStation2 work was to node be able to access
the Internet was that another router was place in between. So the two
10.x.x.x networks were separated.

The PON node has been assigned 6Mbps/3Mpbs upload.

OTHER TESTS:
I ran Speakeasy.net for speed test, the results 5.72 download / 2.54
upload.
The IP gateway shown for my connection is from Chicago, VPSCheap. Nice.

Adium (OTR for Macs) cannot connect via PON. I checked it twice.

CONCLUSION:
Besides Adium not being able to connect TALK and the need to have a
router to overcome the dual 10.x.x.x; PeoplesNetwork.net works and
without much of effort.

Thank you for all the hard work put on this project. It is awesome!

Daniel
