I have seen these cards under XP, and remain unimpressed. I'd might as well use the IrDA in my P910i to route the connection from my ThinkPad to the cellular network, and I would need to be pretty desperate to do that (I already have Opera running on the Symbian-powered P910i, anyway). I haven't seen actual throughput specs, though, I must admit. I'm simply speaking anecdotally. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
