can this be done at reasonable cost? if so, what equipment is required?

at home my internet (roadrunner) comes thru a linux box (redhat 8.0) which i use for firewall, router, some servers (http, ftp, mysql) for stuff (linux and windows boxes, printers, scanners) around the house. all this was wired with ethernet cable.

recently i began 'getting smart' about wireless, got a d-link di-514 wireless router, and set it up to run some of the machines at home through a 255.255.255.240 subnet of my 192.168.2.xxx lan here; static ip throughout. (mostly done to eliminate some inconvenient wiring and prepare for the following project.)

what i know about networking is what i have been obliged to learn to get all the above going, and am at the limit of my knowledge.

we have a studio building located about 1300 feet distant from the house where i have a dual boot machine (win98 and linux) and print server. i would like to connect the studio to the home lan and add more equipment there. line-of-sight is not a problem.

i figure a couple of good outdoor directional antennas (maybe $100 to $150 each) would make the link, but am near clueless about what should feed the antennas. i have another d-link di-514 on hand. this would serve at the studio end to sub-net out the hosts there. i guess what is lacking is a pair of devices to throw and catch a single ip address between the antennas.

hub-at-home <> device <> antenna <...
...> antenna <> device <> di-514-at-studio.

what sort of device am i looking for?
about how much cost each?
recommendation of known suitable antenna?

believe i've found the answer to this. Two each of d-link DWL-2200AP bridges and ANT24-0801 directional outdoor antenna should do it. May be useful to other folks with similar project. Street price of +/- 100 bucks each item.

Probably other manufacturer's stuff available as well, i just started with d-link because their DFE-253TX pci nic works with Linux. Wish they would make a wireless nic would do the same!
