This is a question I asked earlier in the week. I had a friend tell me I could hook some kind of transmitter up to my existing firewall slash router and someone on the list mentioned a access point, so I looked it up and found nothing to do with routers. More to do with cell phone towers, Ham radio, repeater, reflectors and the likes. I guess the best thing to do, is call a computer shop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Max Robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 5:06 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] wireless network card
