[ale] OT: Wireless Questions

[Dow Hurst]

Jonathon,
What would work for just crossing the street in a neighborhood?  
Supposing you could get line of sight for ~300ft with no bags of water 
or trees in the way?  Would just a parabolic dish on each end of a 
normal PCI wifi cards with the external antenna option work?  My brother 
in law is in the IT sales business and is really hurting financially.  
He can't afford anything but a dialup, however, his neighbor wants to 
help him by offering access to the broadband the neighbor has.  I'll get 
him the Wifi cards as a gift if it is simple "can antenna" project.  Thanks,
Dow
