Al, you need at least 1Mb UPLOAD to maintain a good QSO. (upload from the internet provider that is...)
Minimum would be 768Kb up. I run a 768/128 and can not use multicast functions due to the upload speed... Also, if we have more then one dongle user connected, the data goes somewhere beyond south of left field, and outer space.... pretty much garbage.... For a link though, 10 Mbps (or 802.11b) can handle the payload just fine... There is a system here in West Central Florida that uses 802.11 for the link from the ground up to the 800 foot platform... rock solid connection!
