with the old aironet gear now Cisco you can go up to 30km in line of sight with not too many trees and building. Please implemented the anti lighting equipment and have an insurance. the antennas are very prone to attract the thunders and be burn. and for the security this is a broadband radio wave and they are everywhere and anyone with a capable receiver can get the packets. my $0.02 and 1/2 regards wlodek ----- Original Message ----- From: "C J Michaels" <cjm2@earthling.net> To: <fasi_74@yahoo.com> Cc: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 9:25 AM Subject: Re: OT question sorry but i need salution fast .... > You're received several solutions.
