You should actually get quite decent results -- much better than
128kbps ISDN -- at that range with even a cheap and cheerful
directional antenna on the AP. You can make most APs work in bridge
mode (which is what you want for point to point), and a cheap AP would
only cost ?60-?100; you can also get cards that can be connected to an
external antenna.
