I got an idea but I need help!!!

by mike (from canada) . Updated 24 years, 7 months ago

This is what I have been thinking about for a while.

I have 2 computers in my home. 1 is a 486 with 8MB ram running Windows 95 and the other one is a P200 with 32MB ram running Windows 98. I have the network software to connect both computers using a serial cable.
The thing is, the two computers are in different locations. One upstairs, and one downstairs. both of them are approximately 15 meters apart. so what I plan on doing rather than drilling holes through the walls and ceiling and stuff is to create a wireless network. and I plan to use radio waves as a method of transmitting data.

Here are my questions.

Where can I find a resource on making a wireless connection (or better yet, how do I make a pair of walkie talkies? theyuse the same concept as I described)?

How much money (as a guess) do you think this will cost?

If your answer and/or links lead me to some useful information, you get the points.
