[MLB-WIRELESS] Q for radio geeks

[vortex]

AFAIK, you can actually connect 2 antennae back to back to help RF signals 
turn corners, etc. Pity about the hugely lost signal strength.

The best solution would be 2 x antennae with 2 x wireless cards set to 
separate 802.11b channels. An IBM 560 laptop with its port replicator is 
perfect for this, as the port replicator has two horizontally side-by-side 
type III PCMCIA slots - just perfect for two wlan cards which often cannot be 
used in laptops because of physical constraints of the thickness of the 
internal antenna section of the card.
