The shorter your antenna wires are, the less signal loss you are going to get. How far will the AP be from the antenna? If it's 10 feet, I wouldn't worry about it -- but if it's 100 feet it could be a major problem, depending on how much signal strength you need. Also, the RG6 coax required for the 1310 between the "power injector" and the access point is MUCH cheaper than the antenna wire you'd have to run for the 1242. It's much thinner, easier to run in small spaces, more flexible, and much easier to terminate.

According to all the cisco marketing literature, the SupII+ can only do "basic" layer 3: RIP and static routes, yet I've got two that just came out of the boxes that seem to handle OSPF, ISIS, EIGRP, and BGP just fine! What gives? Image is cat4000-i9k2s-mz.121-19.EW.bin

If you wanted to use GRE and IPSec tunnels, you could build the IPSec tunnel to the VPN 3000 and then the GRE tunnel to a different router behind the 3000. If the whole point is to let the remote site router know when the VPN is down so it can dial it's ISDN, how about using BGP between some router at your central location and your remote site router. Announce some arbitrary route and use dialer watch on that route.
