Greetings All,

We are considering options for a high-speed data link between our campus
network and the computers in LDS Hospital, about three miles away.  There
is a good clear line-of-sight between here and there, which would suggest
that some sort of microwave or laser link would be useful.  However for
a number of weeks each winter the air in between is filled with thick
freezing fog.  Is anyone out there familiar off-hand with a good technology
for dealing with this stuff?

Thanks in advance  -- Walt Haas    haas@cs.utah.edu    utah-cs!haas
