WEP wireless bridge - secure enough?

My company has a WEP encrypted wireless bridge set up from our main office to a warehouse on the other side of a 4 lane road. Main office has 25 users and the warehouse has probably 15 computers. The wireless bridge was not my idea and was put into place before I was the sys admin at the company. Anyway, they are Avaya access points, SSID is not broadcasted and they are set in bridge mode. However, they are WEP encrypted. I know WEP sucks for regular wireless access and would assume it would suck for security in bridges too.

What do you guys think? Am I okay or should I get a DSL in the warehouse and set up a VPN to our main office? Also of note, we are not on a domain, so if anyone is able to get in, they are going to have a field day.

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes, you are right to be concerned. I'd look at the costs of proxim bridges, were I you. They may have come down enough in price enough to make them a reasonable alternative to DSL + VPN.
