Oooh, that's good enough to call a bullseye, I figure.
Morwell is about halfway out on the highway to my place between Sale
and
Bairnsdale. Supporting regional business seems attractive, too.

And AussieBB is a bit cheaper than Telstra. I'll have a chat with
them, to see
if that Netcomm Cloudmesh modem also has wired ethernet. Then I
wouldn't
have to find a wifi dongle and get that to work.
Once sold here, it's on for young and old to install enough solar
panels,inverters, and batteries to be reliably off-grid without having
to run thegenerator regularly. A straightforward internet setup will
leave my mindfree to deal with the other stuff.
Many thanks for your insights. It's a lot easier to jog along in
someone else'sfootprints, especially when there's a lot on.
