Coast to Coast LanLink
dr
<a href="http://www.lanlinkup.com/index.php">These guys</a> showed up on Slashdot with the goal of shooting 
a wireless link coast to coast.  The site isn't terribly clear but it looks more like an attempt to build a 
coast to coast wireless mesh than a single longshot like the Slashdot article implies.  I think some of those 
unpopulated midwest states might present some interesting obstacles, but it's an interesting goal.
