For those who are interested in this, there's a company
that has been selling an Appletalk-FM link for at least a year.
It operates up to 4 miles LOS and costs 4k for a "base station" and
1k for a "outlying station". It provided full appletalk speed.
Just the thing for linking remote sites!
Sorry i can't remember who the are, but they're somewhere in Ontario.
If there's interest, I could scour my office...
