Hi Steve,
Many thanks for the information.
I've been off Packet for around 12months, and after going to one of the
local group committee meetings, I was asked about trying to run a Packet
Network over 802.11b/g, and of course I accepted the challenge!!
I currently run a WIFI network around the house, but this will soon cease,
and all will become wired as I switch it all over to the Packet side.
I've got the antenna's already, 2 horns and a vertical, and I also have a
Linksys WAP54G and also a D-Link DWP-2000AP+ (Of which I don't rate at
all!!). The distance that I along with a couple of the members of the
local Packet club hope to acheive would be around 5-8miles, and judging by
the website you gave me the link to, it's acheivable.
Cheers once again...
