[WARC] An entry point for HSMM experimentation

[James Jarvis]

For work I use products from Fleeman, Anderson, and Bird:

And HyperLink Technologies:

The 2.4 GHz stuff is pretty cheap. The Linksys WRT54GL linux running 
routers are ~$60.

Adam KB0VYO and I experimented with 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz wireless links 
when we were in high school. I guess we were a few years ahead of the 
times. We never did get a link from Pleasant Valley into town (couldn't 
get line of site due to twists in the valley), but we did test a link 
from Garvin Heights to Jarvis Computer Software on the end of Winona. 
This was with old proprietary wireless network cards that were on ISA 
bus. And way more expensive than what is available now!
