Long Distance Wifi Network

I found this forum through a Google search for setting up a long-range wifi network. I would appreciate any help that could be provided.

I am looking to set up a wireless network between two houses in the mountains. One house has Verizon DSL through a Westel VersaLink 327W DSL modem/router/WAP. The house where I would like to access the wifi network is a guest house that is approximately 500 ft straight line and about 30 feet down the mountain from the main house. There is a line of trees between the houses, but I can see one house from the other. I would like to connect several computers by wifi in the guest house. I have a Linksys WRT54G router that could be used at the receiving end if this would help.

I have been searching the web for examples similar to what I am trying. Would two of these antennas ('JEFA Tech 12dBi 2.4GHz Mini Directional Antenna'

work for what I am trying to do? Would I need adapters for the routers on each end? If so, what kind of adapter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
