Scott,
I think the biggest problem you will have when trying to replace a
fiber line will be half-duplex vs. full-duplex. They are "used" to
full-duplex... and 99% of the unlicensed equipment is only half-duplex.
If you move to Orthogon or something that will do 200Mbps half-duplex,
you should be fine... but you are talking a LOT more money than the
38ghz stuff. ;)
