A residual, unforeseen benefit: (quote) > Entering the key didn't work until I put a "$" in front of it. (end quote) I NEVER got any of my OS 9 devices (like my Lombard and Clamshell) to connect to my home network via Airport, never, despite numerous configuration attempts. That is, until this afternoon, I re-entered the WEP password with your $, and voile! My Clamshell connected immediately :-) Thanks! Dana
