Hey,
A freind of mine once told me that you can extend the range of 802.11 to a
mile with a Pringles can, tape, and some line of site action....I dont know if its
true or not though. If anyone has heard of this, it might be a cheap
solution to think about. I have no idea how to get a hold of the kid that did it.
He might have been BS'ing me too. :)
