Rick, We use a Linksys wireless hub wired to the server and as many remote wireless workstations as you need (up to a limit of 256 or so). It is stable and works well.

Marshall Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 3:39 PM To: Hardhats Subject: [Hardhats-members] Advice for a Mobile Network Dear Hardhats, I am looking for network guidance for a friend. He is purchasing five Dell laptops to be used as a mobile VistA demonstration. One would be a VistA server, the other four would be workstations running CPRS Chart. The goal is to set them up with some kind of wireless network that keeps them in a stable network with each other as long as they are kept close together. As a group, they would travel widely, being set up from place to place to demo VistA. I think we are talking about VistA on GT.M on Linux. I know Orinoco network cards work well with Linux--I'm using one right now--but what's the best way to get them talking together reliably? Should he get a separate wireless network hub for them to patch into together, or can the server be made somehow to serve as the hub? I'm looking for the usual VistA combo of cheap, easy, and reliable. How would you solve this?
