The description fits what Pebble does: long-distance 11b wireless using
antennae on tall masts in the back yard. If I was sure I could get over
the neigbour's trees and the Roe Highway without spending an absulute

WRT54G or similar, running Linux, up the pole.
Until we have good information, we can't give good advice:-)
