[KLUG Members] off topic: wireless networking long distance

[Rusty Yonkers]

I am trying to find a relatively inexpensive solution to go about a
quarter mile between two buildings for a network connection.  It does
not have to be extremely high speed and I think I would have line of
sight too.  

I was looking at a D-Link high power 802.11b wap but they are
$1000.00 each.  I need much less expensive for this to work out.... I
am wondering if I put up an external antenna on an 802.11 b or g wap
if I could make the quarter mile?  I do not know of anything else
that would be inexpensive that would work.  

TIA
