Jack - That's a very good point about the pci card stuck behind a desk
or in one of those enclosed "computer desks". Thanks for the
information about what mftrs. you like, too. I've found the Buffalo
wireless access points to be very good, so it makes sense that their
usb wireless adapters would be a good choice.
Thanks again for the information. P.S. Your site is terrifc!
