Re: wireless suggestions
Alberto, What do you use on the head end of the system? Is there an inexpensive base station for the WaveLAN products? Thanks for your time!

RE: wireless suggestions
I've installed Breezecom for the San Francisco Zoo in several locations and it has performed very well. Unfortunately, the Access Point is around $1250 wholesale and the Station adapter is around $650. Your 300 ft line of sight is well within specs, and you would probably see around 3Mbs between your computers. But for $2000 I would think it would make more sense to get your own DSL. I am not familiar with any wireless systems that are substantially cheaper, but that certainly doesn't mean they don't exist.
