Brian..... Dave Hughes is the packet radio expert not I. But I have seen
him demonstrate a 9600 transciever with a 1/4 mile sending radius that I
am told requires NO license. That's 9600 BAUD with TCP/IP built in.
Attach one end to a modem in the principal's office and the other at the
host to the NREN in the classroom. And since it is not much bigger than a
package of cigarettes, move it from host to host leaving the receiving end
in the principal's office. . . presumably not more than 440 yards from the
furthest classroom.
