A friend of mine and I are thinking about trying to setup a LAN between
our computers. He lives afew houses away from me (about 2, 3 minute
walk), so obviously putting a cable isnt a solution. The internet
bandwidth at our ISP's can be very low at rush hours, and direct
modem to modem connection have become quite a futile idea, thanks to
our phone company who have increased the prices sky-high. (they
"fixed" it by giving discount to ISP dial-up numbers. G, thanks.)
It was then when I thought of the idea of using Radio. I heard of
afew people who did it before.. And ofcourse, I have no idea where
even to start.
So, if you have any ideas, comments, suggestions, I will be glad to
hear it!
Basicly, the idea is to have only our two computers connected.
If we're going to use a LAN, then we'd rather use IPX. Both
machines will either run on DOS or Windows (we have both installed,
and as you can guess from my being in this list, we're both beavily
experienced with DOS.). We can also put up a Linux server if needed,
though we dont really have any any knowledge how to mess with it.
Still, the target 2 computers are a DOS&Windows combo, and cannot
be changed to any other OS (sorry david! ;)
So.. if you have any ideas.. please help. :)
