Re: long distance LAN

I keep forgetting that the UK is different. The planning permission needed
here for wireless or laying cable when it's not on your own property would
take months to sort out (if it was even granted) and would be very
expensive. Even our property database is useable over dual ISDN (though
slow), but it does have a Web front end. Microwave links are also a possible
solution.
