The machines arnt exactly 60 ton press's..lol
They are used in a factory the produces printed circuit boards, and the
machines range from a component inserter, to an Automated Optical Inspection
machine (worth $500k each..), to depannelers for seperating the boards once
they are produced...quite high tech really!

Yes they will be used for back-ups, and software updates. There may be
requirements to recipicate screem shots to a remote location for support
issues. (the remote location is in Europe....)

We need to use WLAN because they machines are not together, but are sitting
in 8 different lines, and the opportunity to run cat5 to each machine is not
feasable. Plus I need to run separate from the factories own LAN, as these
are machines we have sold and commisioned ourself!
