John,

To respond to your last message. I'm not in a rural area. Reston, Virginia
is actually fairly close to Washington DC, I'd call it a suburb. Funny
because based on the Commotion Wireless website, that's where they are
headquartered. My issue is is two fold:
1) I understand that commotion wireless is about trying to create a Mesh
with the community you live, but is there a way to find other commotion
wireless communities close to where I live in order to combine mesh
networks, or join an existing mesh?
2) I understand commotion wireless orginally was not encrypted; However,
there are rumors going around that one could use Cjdns with commotion
wireless. If true, that Would be preferable because Would like end to end
encryption.
