I live about a half mile from a free wireless access point that I bet
I can hit with a small directional antenna. I'd like to set up a
small wireless LAN at my house that can tap into it. I've done some
digging around in this group for ideas, but without much luck. Can
anybody suggest the cheapest/easiest way to accomplish this?
I'm imagining a little box that I can buy that will act as an Access
Point, but also has a connection for a directional antenna to use as
input. Does such a thing exist?

PS. More info: At the present my hardware configuration consists of
two laptops with built-in wireless cards and an old desktop that could
be sacrificed to become a firewall/whatever.
