That would be perfectly acceptable.  In fact, that's what I'm thinking =
of.
A simple wireless bridge would work fine.  The problem with doing it =
myself
is that I don't have the time, nor the experience.  We're a small =
company
and our IT staff consists of me - so I don't exactly have lots of time =
these
days.  I would estimate that the two buildings are about 3/8 of a mile
apart, so there will need to be some directional antennas that would
probably need to be aligned carefully.  And there would have to be some =
sort
of tower mounts placed on the roofs.  My wireless experience is limited =
to
802.11b, and I don't have the confidence or time to try this project.
