I have a linux system that could grow a modem and be a node. If we did this would it eventually gateway to the Internet?

What I would like to do is what some people call a guerilla net, a WLAN that connects like-minded people to form a community seperate from the Internet. But using existing Internet connections would be better for obvious reasons (price, availability, bridging huge distances etc.). The problem with testing a program/configuration/installation of such a service is not within my capacity, I would need access to a server with a reasonably fast connection which is, more important, online 24/7. Thomas PS: One thing might be to write a simple server which sort of simulates the behaviour of a BBS. You could even do this in a scripting language like Perl or Python to have support for scripts built-in. and so on and so on. -- Thomas S.
