Hi, I used to be on this list a year ago, but I unsubscribed b/c I changed isps.. however this list was a good list for some tech insight (and some toys I haven't heard of.. :P). I think this is one of the more appropriate places to ask this.. What kind of products are avail for a wireless data link? Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a 128k data link between my house and a friends house (which is about 2 miles away.) We're seperated by several trees, at the very least. I know about 802.11 wireless ethernet. Great speed, but limited range. Unless you add a dish and/or an amp to boost the power (dunno if this would work.) I know about HAM packet radio (I have a no code tech license..) Slow speed (1200-9600 baud, I've heard of 56k..), both sides have to be licensed.. insecure, expensive equipment.. etc What else is there? Ricochet 128k 'modems' sound right to me.. but I doubt their range is up to it (and if they could actually function peer-peer.. outside the Ricochet system) What else? 9600 baud packet link over frs radios? :P Thanks for your time. -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org please, Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/false domain
