People normally set up Internet connections in order to run some Internet application, such as the Web and email. Once you run an application over an Internet connection, it becomes an Internet application. While I agree that a few applications that can run over WiFi cannot run over IP --- for example, AppleTalk printer sharing --- I think and hope that most WiFi applications and WiFi traffic are IP, because limiting an application to a LAN is a shame. So, yes, people will use WiFi for a few things other than moving IP packets around, but I think we should make every effort to stamp those other applications out. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kragen Sitaker <http://www.pobox.com/~kragen/> Edsger Wybe Dijkstra died in August of 2002.
