from what i have found so far, i can see that there is more to find and read.
from what i have found and read, i will say this, go for it.
as long as what ever system you use is within guide lines of part 15, you
should be safe.
i do recommend that you get full part 15 and read thru it to be familiar with
what you are dealing with.
in using such low power, you will be limited to near 'line of sight' coverage
and you may get some degrading due to terrain, buildings and such.
over all, your intent of use may be satisfied with results you want. as was
said, $80 is not much to spend on such equipment.

There's lots of activity when I type keywords, video conference distance
learning, but nothing at the no budget level, yet. Seems like there's
going to be a server/client network description someplace.
Tom, Check out Wonderland from Sun Microsystems. It runs under Java,
provides a 3D world builder and get this, it'll run X11 apps within. I'm
having problems getting the darn thing to connect as it uses inet6 but
others have done it. It might be worth looking into.
Ric: Good pointer. It definitely would be an excellent use of a
community wireless network (intranet). Might be even a critical one for
introducing our local teachers to computers and how they can be used in
the classroom for collaborative educational projects.
I saw Firefox boosting notes that called for disabling inet6 as one step
to speed up browsing. I wonder if you have to do something similar with
your system whenever you move to Wonderland.
