Kris, Have you done any presentations or a website on this? I'd like to know more about your project. I'm just getting started with learning about wireless and 802.11b, but I can see the huge potential.
I was in Seattle on business a couple of weeks ago hanging out in a coffee shop that had wireless Internet access all day for $1. They supplied the LinkSys 802.11b card and a CD for my driver's license. It worked really well and I was sold. I must have this. :) John Hebert --- "Kris A.
