cheap networking
you wanted a wireless solution, but since you implied that an IR link might be usable, I have to ask the obvious. Could you live with a wired connection between the two computers? (maybe a small hole drilled through an interferring wall). If so, used 10Mbit ethernet cards (ISA) are very inexpensive. Here in the states, CSO sells various models for $1 apiece (wait for the free shipping deals). I recently bought a bundle of them, all from different vendors, and was able to locate the drivers for most online. - CAL
