Really? Like how far? I've done point-to-multipoint (me with 24db parabolic, them with a standard omni) at 6 miles (granted, I was on the 12th floor of a building). > Even if someone decided to hide in the woods at the edge of my yard with > a laptop they're more likely to be eaten by a bear, sprayed by a skunk, > or chewed alive by mosquitoes 2 Linksys boxes running OpenWRT and a decent battery (actually using WDS you could have a whole string of such devices) sort of negates the mosquito/bear/skunk problem if you're so far away that you can't be found with a reasonably high-gain antenna. WEP is basically a screen door, and always has been. ~Mike. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
