Hardware drawings

Animated line-draw glyphs for the machine-qualification opening and the interface options — Debian Linux base, memory, one or more interfaces, and the eth0 / wlan0 rules. Strokes draw on, then loop.

Every glyph is available as an .svg and a transparent .png in /media/illustrations/.

Hardware and RF people

The bearer is the part we have least of

FrogNet runs over whatever you have — cable, Wi-Fi, radio, tunnel — and the bearers it has been proven on are the ones two people could get their hands on. New bearer work, antenna work, and measurement on hardware we do not own are all contributions that need no engine access.

Measuring the media host’s participant ceiling on your own hardware is a particularly useful one: there is no per-participant term at the edges, so the ceiling is a property of the box, and nobody has the table.
