Hello! That's my understanding as well. I decided against rousing the gang at Seattle Wireless about this because, well, it would be a "non starter". I might then actually end up ordering the appropriate Wireless-G router from Amazon RSN and do all that with it that we'd need to do to get it to talk to us outside of routing and acting as an AP. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
