I have something close. I have two networks one on channel 4 one on channel
8 (I'm linited to channels 4-8). One is wep encrypted and is on my regular
network, the other is avalaible to anyone using PubilicIp (www.publicip.
(net or org)).

I was starting a business to build advertiser supported PublicIP networks,
and had come up with some patentable technology, but I had to shelve it
due to pressing needs from another buisness. :-(

In your case, you probably want the same SSID. Then a computer will pick
the strongest signal and connect to it. Most modern systems will automaticly
switch when the signal strength changes.
