[MLB-WIRELESS] Wireless PCI Cards

[AnthonyM - Point and Click Business Systems]

Ok, finally someone else has brought up the subject. Why is everyone
purchasing PCMCIA and not PCI ? Surely a PCI (a little more expensive
maybe, but when u take into consideration a PCMCIA needs the adapter,
the pigtails etc etc etc) its got to be viable? 

I have a friend very interested in wireless (the only LOS to me infact)
but he is hesitant to purchase the gear, because he needs so much stuff.
We don't need flashy, beefy, reach 60km range kind of stuff. Its 800m,
so with a standard hi-range card without an antenna, it should make the
distance.

Can anyone please give me a few examples of PCI cards to look out for?
That have the external antenna jack, and any parts you need are easy to
get etc?

I also have a hell of a lot of pc's and only one laptop, so I would
prefer to use one as dedicated. In total I have 9 computers.
5 Pentium 100 systems, 1 Pentium 300, 1 athlonxp 1900 sys, 1 thunderbird
1gig sys.

I was hoping to use the P100's as dedicated server's.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if you knew ballpark
figures of what they are worth ? that would be also appreciated.


Thanking you,

Anthony
