Hello folks,

I can believe that the performance would suffer
greatly, depending on the mobility of the intermediate
nodes.  If the nodes didn't move, then I wonder what
would go wrong?

Regarding the idea about replacing land lines,
I guess that any routing protocol would work,
even manual configuration.  To overcome the 
hop limit, you could do encapsulations.

It doesn't seem to be a close match for the
technology provided for use with mobile ad
hoc networks since:
1) the nodes aren't mobile, and
2) the network isn't ad hoc.

Regards,
Charlie P.
