[H-GEN] Wireless connections between buildings

[Hilton Travis]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs "Hilton Travis" <QuarkComputers at email.com>)

Hi Rob,

Consider it needed!  :-)  I have found some quite slow (2Mbps) systems, but
a bit more speed would be nice - who wants to go back to ArcNet, after all?
Either way, 2Mbps will be much quicker than routing through a 64kbps Telstra
ISDN line!

I believe 3Com is coming out with some 11Mbps equipment later this year -
this will be NICE.

If this is not off-topic, I think we should continue this in here - it may
be of interest to more people than just ourselves.

Thanks,
Hilton
