[comp.dcom.lans] linking ethernets between buildings

golds@fjcnet.GOV (Rich Goldschmidt) (02/10/90)

We have two groups which work together, and need to share an ethernet
for applications development and testing.  For some reason not readily
understandable by ordinary mortals like myself, one of these groups is
moving to another building about two or three blocks away.  I am
looking for suggestions on how best to link our ethernets between these
two locations.  It is not likely we have access to line-of-sight for
laser or microwave links (intervening taller buildings in downtown DC).  
We are looking into the possibility of a T1 link ($990/mo).

I have heard of several commercial products for packet radio ethernet.
Is this likely to be feasible and/or cost effective.  Anyone with
experience?

Thanks,
