| (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet |
| traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery |
| powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and |
| weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called |
| "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads |
| many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a |
| phone line and use it as a modem.) |
| |
| You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although |
| it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you |
| think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm |
| in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit |
