Nancy:
No problem. When the information was posted about the Proxim card, I had
forgotten that was the name of the company that had purchased Farallon. Farallon had
wireless for Macs before Apple released Airport (wasn't it called the "Airdock"? I'm
just peeved that the Skyline card will accept only the Skyline PCMCIA card,
apparently not working with the Lucent Silver (64 bit) that I already have. I would
be tempted to pick the card up and test it if it were not so pricey.
As for how far it is to your business, MacFixit had a piece last week with a
link to a page about using two satellite dish antennae to get a 10-mile range! I
wonder how many wireless networks that would pick up!
