Running a full link is not for the faint of heart or
pocket book. Running an ether extention for me is
about $650 a month, but I'm very close to Queen st. so
it's a short haul. I also had my own router that had
WAN ether ports on it so I didn't have to lease one.
You'll have to get a quote, I've seen ether extentions
in Toronto range from $500 to $5000, as long as you
can get it in your area.

Old box at Factory Direct (College and Spadina) for
about $200, loaded up with FreeBSD. Ether to the
router, Orinoco silver in a TI carrier card, couple of
custom transceivers on the serial ports. $90 for
wireless, $50 for the carrier.

1 homebrew wireless router and 4 boxes hooked up
is about $800.
