I, for one, would welcome him back. He's a sharp cookie and he was fair
in his business dealings with me.

My first radios were Karlnet. In those days they were very robust.
We then migrated to Alvarion (wasn't called that in those days).
It amazes me how this industry has changed in the last decade. We are
actually seeing sub $200 CPE in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, the FBI wants access to
our networks, city's are proposing that everyone has Wi-Fi, etc.
Just an amazing industry, wonder where the next 10 years will take us...

Patrick,
I remember a lot of that transition well. Our first wireless gear in 1997
was WaveAccess. I have no idea what ever happened to them but I remember it
was FHSS. We put an AP in our office attic and served up the local library
and several businesses around our building. The library and several of
those businesses are still customers today!
Ahh and you forgot about Doug Karl's Karlnet, based on a
Lucent/Orinoco/Agere platform. Sold to YDI, then Terabeam then was
essentially EOL'd when Proxim bought Terabeam. It seems like all those
transactions transpired in about 18 months. Talk about torture for Karlnet
customers!
Respectfully,
