Piss the f*ck off.

As always, Fox's Mercantile (aka Snit) proves he's an infant. o Let's see if the other two infants on s.e.r show their colors

Like I give a f*ck what you think. And I ain't Snit.

The cross-posting troll is back!

Please do not feed the troll!

But it's so much fun. Because he gets his panties in a really tight wad.

The second infantile troll on s.e.r, as predicted, proved me right. o snipped-for-privacy@aol.com (aka Diesel)

What I find always enlightening is how worthless these trolls prove to be. o These 3 trolls don't have a purposefully helpful bone in their bodies 1. Snit (aka Fox's Mercantile) 2. snipped-for-privacy@aol.com (aka Diesel) 3. ... (we're waiting for you)...

None have ever posted in their entire lives, anything of any value. o Any thread with them is 99% their trolls, and nothing of value.

Oh, be nice. 300ft is about the limit for omnidirectional antennas on both ends of a 2.4GHz link. For 800ft, directional antennas with some gain are going to be required. To get some decent speeds, 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz.

Small antennas, long range, high speed... pick any two.

Drivel: For your amusement, a Model 15 TTY used as a terminal for a Linux computah. Handling upper/lower case was a kludge and handling arithmetic and programming symbols was impossible. No mention of termcap or terminfo:

"Using a 1930 Teletype as a Linux Terminal"

Try it with your Model 15. That should keep you out of trouble for at least a little while.

I tried linking the shop to the house on 2.4 using 24" antennas at both ends. Distance was 1400 feet. Never could get it to work.

I bought a pair of Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 with 23 dB antennas. Absolutely solid link.

I've seen that before. I don't have a Model 15. I have a Lorenz Lo-15c (made in Germany under license from the Teletype Corp.

Actually, I use it on i-Telex.

Hi Jeff,

We go way back, decades, regarding Fox's/Snit's childish rants on Usenet... o Nobody takes Snit/Fox seriously (just google for his name for reference).

Don't worry about Snit (Michael Glasser is who Fox's Mercantile really is). o He admitted it himself, years ago, when we caught him with the same IP

What I want to say is that I THANK YOU for helping the OP out. o I know there are adults on s.e.r who, like you, are knowledgeable.

The whole point of adding s.e.r and a.i.w was that the Windows group needed your expert assistance, which I, as an adult, for one, greatly appreciate.

Let's hope the OP reads your advice and takes it to heart for his problem o Adults like you can help him, and, in doing so, you help all of us.

It's what Usenet is supposed to be all about... o To that end, I include the OP's original post, verbatim, below:

o WiFi out to 800 feet

I didn't want to hijack the other thread but Arlen got my interest with those antennas.

If I wanted to hit a LAN based camera 800' away, what would I need to to do (clear LOS).

The objective would be to attach it to an existing security DVR that has 2 unused WiFi portals.

I am trying to avoid the cloud/phone thing but that seems to be what most of these ones I see are doing these days. I assume once they are on the network I could coax my DVR to see them.

Do I need an enhanced antenna at both ends or would the dish at the host end give me enough signal strength to talk?

Thanks

No, he isn't. I've known Jeff on other newsgroups, for over 20 years.

Hi Jeff Liebermann,

These worthless pieces of s*it like Fox's Mercantile are who ruin Usenet. o Not people like you and me who are purposefully helpful & who add value.

You know me since we've communicated in email, where you know I don't bullshit and that I'm always purposefully helpful in intent & detail.

As are you, where you've helped me a lot with the local WISP over the years, where you know that what I say is always intended to be helfpul.

By way of stark contrast, this proven worthless piece of s*it that goes by the nym Fox's Mercantile is the opposite of both you and me.

If this worthless piece of s*it Fox's Mercantile is not Snit, then he acts EXACTLY like Snit does - which is essentially the same thing in effect.

Years back, I believe in the long defunct Byte magazine, I read an article about someone who typed 8 bit ASCII while riding a bike, using 4 microswitches on each handlebar grip. I think that would one-up the Teletype terminal.

I have tried to find the article without success. The claim was that he wrote his monthly column while on vacation bicycling.

Let me know when you get tired of proving how useless you are.

Fox's Mercantile _is_ the despicable Snit (he admitted it years ago).

You can also tell he's Snit like also by how he incessantly trolls.

Like Snit, Fox's Mercantile always posts infantile ad hominem attacks.

Pull your head out of your ass moron. I am NOT Snit, nor have I ever been.

Would you immature clods please take your pissing contest to private email!

And yet, what you do shows you're absolutely no different from Snit.
