This is not exactly what your are asking for but I have a Linux
machine with a Soletek(NCR Wavelan) card talking to a NT
server/Network that is about 1 Mile away. I can talk to everybody at
the otheer end. The SMB stuff lets me address the NT machines fairly
directly.
Caveats:
You must have line of sight - I don't quite and reliability and
performance suffer especially when the trees have leaves on them.
Beleive it or not Linux to NT works much better that NT to NT. Some
aspect of the NT TCP/IP server/redirector stack appears to be very
intolerant of delays and errors. I do not understand this as it runs
TCP/IP over internet fine. But Under NT the link gradually dies and I
have to reboot to recover. Under Linux it seems to stay up better
under adverse conditions.
