I, of course, do not know where "out here in a soon to be

The sort of WiFi connection I have called Airlink tends to be, I think,
a kind mom-pop operation. Airlink doesn't advertise. Making it gradually
on word of mouth  in a mountainous area with pockets of residences
unreachable by cable or dsl.
I suggest you call your local or most local computer
store or service center/vendor or your electronics supply shop.
They would know if anyone is hacking a wifi system.

cornfield?

Cliff & Kristina,
It sounds like Cliff's ISP uses the Motorola Canopy WiMax system. I 
just signed up with a local ISP that is fielding it here in my area 
of California; the install is in a couple of weeks. When they were 
testing to see the signal strength, the connection speed was around 
450 Kbps, IIRC, much better than my 28.8 Kbps connection on dial-up, 
and this was 13.8 miles from their access point on Boomer Mountain.

Cliff, does anything on this site look familiar?
