Swarthmore hits all floors of its library with only maybe two base stations per floor and there were some antenna specifications to make that work. (That is, they're not omni, they're something that makes sense being that it wouldn't be able to get outside through the ridiculous walls and narrow windows anyway.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
