    Has anybody got a way to join two ethernets that are seperated by
    about a mile?

We accomplished this using a GE Gemlink which is buffered on both ends
by 11/34's running a hacked up version of the old Minits.  If one can
tolerate the occasional flakiness of rf communications, it's a reasonable
solution. If you need 100% reliability it's not the way to go. Cornell
has had experience with this product too. --Jon
