[svlug] Wireless?

[Adrian Blakey]

I am at a location in SF, South of Market near Van Ness with access to
the roof of a 7 story building, we are having a terrible time getting
terrestrial communications installed. Does anyone know of an 802.11
access point in the area I can buy some connectivity from? When we get a
T1 I can repay the compliment and provide an access point.
