- I have used LCI's LACE Ethernet product in a similar situation with
- good results. LACE is simply 2 infrared lasers with 1 pin ethernet
- ports on the backs. Aim the lasers at each other, mount them
- securely, attach transievers and you are set! LACE performed well
- in rain and snow and momentary obstructions like birds didn't bother
- it. (I was disappointed that it didn't provide a rain of barbecued
- pigeon, tho :-) ).

- LCI is located in Lancaster, PA.
