[MLB-WIRELESS] Hold off on buying wireless equipment for a fe w months!

[Steven Haigh]

We've had 7.5Km with 450k/sec using cisco aironet & 13dbi yagi's... I'd say
chances of getting a little more than 'jack shit' over 5km+ is pretty good
:)

Steven Haigh

Out the 100Base-T, off the firewall, through the router, down the T1,
over the leased line, off the bridge, nothing but Net.

The net will not be what we demand, but what we make it. Build it well.
