YES!!!  Actually... we'll have about 30 KN-100/KN-105's with SG-4000
licenses, Lucent Silver/YDI Sapphire cards.  They are mounted in outdoor
plastic boxes w/ an N-Female bulkhead connector.  We also have power
supplies for each of these, and 24dBi grid dishes.

Please, SOMEONE, take these damn grid dishes.  They are piling up in our
office!!!

For our new tower's, possibly.  However, for our existing stuff, and for 
our planned upgrades, this puts a large hole in things....

Since you are converting to Canopy, I would wonder if you have Karlnet 
stuff to sell off?
