	consider using broadband coax as well.  and if your buildings
	are scattered around town, note that some cable TV companies rent
	bandwidth on their cables.  you might consider running ethernet
	to 802.4 bridges across long distance broadband cable in order
	to achieve connectivity which rivals that of microwave links.

	you might be able to guess whose .3 to .4 bridge i would recommend
	for this job.  two of the three .3 to .4 bridges on the market
	will provide a high speed solution to inter-building connectivity
	using broadband cable...
