Well, one option, using the Fry's tech lend-lease program, would be to se=

up with off the shelf wireless access points, and see if you can get the=20
range. I have a friend that has a wap/router on her DSL line, and a frien=
d of=20
hers is accessing it about 3 short blocks away. So you might not need a=20
cantenna. FWIW.
--=20
Take care,
