Exactly. 802.11b should be adequate - 11MB/sec. Hardware about $70 each end,
plus a good antenna - anywhere from a free Pringles chip can to a few hundred
for a commercial antenna. Range with direct line-of-site should not be a
problem - you can get 50-60 Km with the right hardware. It's just a question
of how good an antenna you need.
