The base can do upto 10MB so you can put the 1/2MB units at the customer sites and the larger unit at your site. If you never see selling another, use the smaller ones. the 10MB unit is about ~$1700, the 1/2MB units are ~$700. Antennas and cable add about another $300 per site, more if you have to provide your own mount. If it is window to window LOS Aironet has a flat window mount antenna. www.aironet.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Du Gaue - rdugaue@calweb.com http://www.calweb.com CalWeb Internet Services Inc.
