Don't know whether the hot spots I find in town will have g or just b. When we get DSL going in the next months, I plan to get a wireless router, since the Cat5e wiring is all upstairs and the DSL splitter is downstairs...... goof in the electrical plans I didn't catch in time There is a kit with WPC54G and router as a pair that is reasonably prices as WKPC54G. I was thinking of getting that router, and it would make sense to get the pair.
I have very slow dial-up, and would, for the time being, go into town and find a hot spot when I want to download a big file. Anything bigger than about 5-7 Mb will usually die an hour or so into the download, even in the middle of the night. Think Bellsouth is overloaded out here with roughly double normal population in the Covington area. Know that my mail server has .msy. in it, suggesting it comes via the New Orleans airport, if I read the code correctly. Thanks for the advice.
