I did not consider this an acceptable ratio.   Then came the interference issues between our system and the local school district.  Since they had wireless established first, they had the airway right-of way (in their opinion).    Wireless works and works well, but it brings a whole new set of issues to your business that must be dealt with.   Just so you are informed  <grin>   Bill Rakowitz YK Communications   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Curd Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 8:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOPRadius] Off Topic Wireless Internet (Needing Information)   wireless is affordable for everyone business and residential users alike   ********************************** Bill Curd Systems Engineer http://www.digitalky.com Leitchfield KY 42754 --------------------------------------------------- Virus Free scanned By ModusMail --------------------------------------------------- This email is intended for the purpose of the Recipient and may not be used for any other purpose.
