Actually the microwave was there first. They have been using the 2.4GHz band since before there were even wired networks. I'm not sure what possessed the cordless phone and network people to pick that band in a residential setting where almost everyone has a microwave. Guess it was available and had the distance they wanted. It doesn't take much leakage from a 700-1000W microwave signal to step on 11b network packets. Most 2.4G phones and such say to avoid placing the base near a microwave. ---------------------- - Mike Scott - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
