Once upon a time I looked into a point-to-point wireless bridge between
office and home. I never pursued the project any further than to
discover that it was actually a viable option. It might be possible
that you could eliminate direct Internet access to your branches, bite
off the one-time cost of a point-to-point bridge setup, and run the
branches off of your main branch's Internet access. I'm sure there are
companies that can quote this for you.<br>

Just a thought.<br>

Paulding County Carnegie Library has two rural branches (located in NW
Ohio) that are in desperate need of a faster internet connection.
However, because they are rural most companies in the area cannot
support their needs. My question is, does anyone have a similar
situation and if so how did you handle it? Would replacing the switch
make that big of a difference? Any advice would be hopeful. Thanks!</font></div>
