Yes- I believe #3 would work- Airport works automatically as a router. I'm
pretty sure it does NAT (Network Address Translation) as well, but I'd check
on that at Apple's website. Frankly, for laptops, I'd seriously consider
it. Cabling is OK for a desktop which doesn't move, but unless you like
being locked at a desk, I probably wouldn't go to the trouble.
>3. If I was rich and bought two new Farallon WaveLan 11MB cards(at
>$250+ each?) and an Apple Airport would that mitigate the need for
>the router/switch, i.e., Airport serving as router.
Just my $.02
