How cheap are you talking?  This is NOT really a cheap task.  If I remember
correctly a 900 meter distance would have to covered with optical fiber,
coaxial and CAT5 would degrade.  Depending of course if you have permits to
even run wires to each building.  Else you might have to go with a Frame Relay
from a service provider.  Or if speed is not an issue (which it should be)  You
may need to use a dial up to connect to the server.  How many units in each
building?  300 or is 300 the total number of clients?  I might be able to help
you out further if you need to contact me directly at ca...@op...
