Well, from the chatter on discussion about the security of MU's
wireless, I'd say buy this reaaaally tall Pringles can, and... :-)

More seriously, I'm guessing that's not a really good location for
most of your better access options.  Last year, I ran into somebody
who wanted fast access from (if memory serves) the northwest corner of
Boone County, and I think they went for satellite service.  The lore
on this groups seems to be something like: if in doubt, call
Tranquility.  One thing that I guess might help is not to have any
high-volume server on site, but have it colocated somewhere else with
better access.

It seems to me that this is the great irony of the Internet age. 
People thought you'd be able to live anywhere and telecommute, but
it's just a lot easier to do that if you within X thousand feet of the
phone company's switching station or connected to cable or close
enough to somebody with an open wireless connection...
