As I told Andy, you need a "RayProof" or similar brand shielded conference room. This is Faraday Cage, with a tight-fighting door, etc. I don't know what they cost, but I've installed one or 2. Outside of labor, I suppose they might be in the $50-500K range or so, for small (12'x6') ones. Note it's a PITA to keep tight; as the door needs very tight-fitting gaskets. You'll need to bring phone/Ethernet in over fiber, but that's not hard. -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
