While that would be all right functionally, I wouldn't want to mess with the
security of it on a business network.  Even if I plugged the 802.11b receiver
into my dmz switch, I would still have to encrypt traffic between both sites.
I'd have to setup a vpn between there and here.  While I can do that with
freeswan, it may be better to solve it with fiber and a couple routers, or if
short enough, coax and a hub.
