Long distance networking

Hi,

A friend of mine lives on a large property and he wants to extend his
local area network down into the valley (~400m/1312ft) where he has a
small guest house.

The guest house is in line-of-sight of his other house, so it might be
possible to use wireless with a good antenna (directional?). This sounds
expensive though.

I know CAT5 only goes about 100m, so that's not really enough.

I would have thought something like this would be common, but I can't
find much information on the internet about how to do it.

Any suggestions or ideas would be great.

Thanks,
n0dalus.

PS: Sorry if this is not the right newsgroup to ask this question in;
feel free to point me to a more appropriate one.

Try this out:

It's just a summary on hackaday.com of this:

It's dirt-cheap. Good luck.
