Have you looked at Mile High Online (MHO), or Sprint? Both have
line-of-sight radio service (I assume microwave). Sprint, at least, will
let you check your address for service at their website. I haven't look at
MHO. I don't know if there any Linux issues with either.

The other question I'd have with any wireless service is security. Is it
encrypted? How do you keep someone with the appropriate radio from tapping
your transmissions?
