First of all, thanks for enlightening me. I don't use any MICROS~1 products so it was a really honest question.

Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?

List, I have been tasked with getting a DSL connection across about 10km of no-man's-land to a rural location without internet access. Ideally, all traffic inbetween the two directional antennas would be encrypted. (Nice, but not entirely required.) 3Mb/s would be great! Something like: LAN<->BSD

Just take some advice from the owner of a WISP... and a FreeBSD user. if your only trying to get connectivity a less then 500 USD this is easily accomplished buy a couple high end radios with built in antennas, Ubiquiti PowerStations come to mind, place 1 at each end of the link if line of sight
