I beleive so, Just select "TurboCell No base stations" Under interface setup
along with matching NWID, Channels and Access Phrases and they should
communicate.
>2. Will this work:

I think this should work, unless one of the SAT's broadcast a packet
directed toward one of the single user SAT's therefore causing it to see the
MAC address of the requesting device (did that make sense....?) Doug? Tony?
>What about this? Notice the switch instead of the Crossover:
>Omni (ISP Base) < - > (Grid)Unlimited Satellite --Switch-- Single
>SOHO(Base)Grid< - > Grid Single SOHO(Satellite) -- Computer
>Does this make any difference?

Power cycle the units and try it first without pinging anything.

It *might* work, but I wouldn't want to rely on that for anything important.
I have done ptp links with the No Base station options, but have never ran
any real traffic on them or would I want to. Just my two cents on the
matter, see what Doug and Tony have to say.
