I don't know how many places have 5.5 miles indoors :-). We're using two Hypergain HG2424G antennas. They are 24dBi gain. They run about $150-$250 depending on your supplier. There are smaller gain ones that are cheaper and a little easier to use. : your post just gave me some hope to solve a problem i've been grappling : with for a while, i.e. how to provide connectivity to one particular : hospital which is 4 miles away from a village and doesnt have any : communications, pstn or otherwise. You are likely looking at $600 an end: $100 Machine (486 or better) $35 ISA PCMCIA card $65 Wavelan card (more for Silver or Gold) $200 Antenna $200 Cables, connectors, converters, masts, guy wire, etc. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
