That's another possibility.  But which ones *really* work?  There's lots and 
lots of antennas out there and they're trying to avoid buying one of everything 
on the market.  Most of what we've seen in the various computer stores are the 
smaller antennas to boost signal strength across the house and not across the 
great expanses of the outside world.

   How about employing a beam yagi-type antenna or other directional  
antenna system?
