This is a followup to my request for
info on radio-link modems.  I found the
following in "Canadian Office":

Nelma Data Corp. demonstrated its
"Black Magic" wireless local data
communications network at the recent
Canadian Computer show (article from
Dec '83/Jan '84 issue).  The radio
modems transmit and receive digital
data signals asynchronously via the UHF
FM radio frequency.  The low powered, 
economical devices can communicate with
up to 250 other devices within a
typical office environment, receiving
and transmitting data at up to 9600 bps
within a radius of 100 to 200 meters,
depending on the office building
environment.  The units simply plug
into any standard RS-232C
communications port.


Wonderful!  Exactly what I was looking
for.  Hope this is of use to someone
out there......
