What security concerns have you addressed with the peer to peer aspect of
this setup and also the 'freeloader' aspect of someone joining in the 802.11
connection without a dialup?

All in all, it sounds great!  All one needs now is the ability for one user
to bring up the remote lines of other users as needed...

and then linking/bridging 802.11 access points together over an entire
neighborhood to get t-speeds!  WHOO HOOO!

Think of the redundancy (providing individual users have different ISPs with
different backbone connections).

Shoot!  I'd participate with my cable modem connection!  Think about linking
the cable modem connections together!  Have you got a piece like that
working???
