truth be said, she doesnt know (yet) ;)
fact is, I sweet-talked her into getting a 2mbit dsl line (yes she
doesn't have a computer yet), with included VoIP flatrate so that she
doesn't have to find the cheapest call-by-call long distance plan
from the newspaper (where the listings are painfully inaccurate)
anymore, which in fact IS cheaper than what she pays for phone fees
right now...
Now i though i could hook her up with a cheap box for browsing and
email, because every time she needs a train schedule she calls me to
look it up for her, and ever so often she hits a phone hotline where
the IVR tells her to send an email...
So right now i might be able to scrounge an old G4 mac (you know, the
ones that look like the german playing card symbol "karo" from the
side) at work, and because i couldn't help her at all with Mac OS, i
thought OSS/ppc would be better.
Which comes back to one basic question, does the apple airport module
work on OSS/ppc, and can you do WPA with it?
bye,
MH
