        Well, that begs the question, what kind of speed would you like? You can
get a setup like this to work with WiFi, just barely. You'd need fixed
focused antennas on either end. It is doable but at the limit of that
particular technology. Is there NO way you could run a cable? That would by
far be the cheapest option, 10BASE5 (thick coax) is speced for up to 500m,
you could even go figure for higher speeds. TTYL
