I am currently running a network with Server_1 running Win2003, 2 3com
routers, 1 linksys router, and 1 netgear router. I would like to integrate
wireless into this for 1 computer that is in another building 640 feet
away. I have line of sight from the roof of the main buiding to the annex.
Can anyone give me some tips as to what equipment would work best for this
application?

TIA

In theory all one requires is a Wireless Access Point, such as a Linksys
WAP54G.

The problem for your site is that you may find that it is beyond the range
for most wireless devices. Linksys do not specify range with their product,
most don't.

Some people complain of weak or non-existent signals when they are <50 feet
away from the Access Point.

The result, you need to test for yourself: try and get a unit on approval
before purchasing.
