Subject: [OS2Wireless] 1)Apology; 2)supported PCMCIA wifi cards

I am so sorry I've missed the fun in this thread for these so many days 
(Warpstock - and work - have kept me busy since tax season ended).

A couple short thoughts:

    * Why is the Cisco 350 no longer in the picture, Stan? I still have
      several of these cards, having been sent an "unwanted" shipment of
      another five pieces about a month ago. If you need one, just let
      me know.
    * The 802.11g router will slow down to 11b bandwidth as soon as a
      single 11b client connects; that's the nature of the beast.
    * Ethernet -> 802.11x devices are fairly common these days, thanks
      to game consoles with built-in wired ethernet. These devices do
      indeed configure via a web browser and use your existing wired
      ethernet adapter to bridge the connection to your machine. They
      work with ANY OS, too, and are available in 802.11g flavors.
      They're a little klutsy for notebooks, however, as they still
      require power from somewhere 9I don't know of any which draw power
      from the USB port, but this would be the way I would design one
      from the ground up).
    * Please go easy on the criticism of upstate New York. It's not the
      fault of those of us downstate in Suffolk County (or even those
      upstate) that we have two of the most liberal senators in
      Washington, that one of them is a carpet-bagger, and that neither
      has had an original idea since the one which came over each of
      them to actually run for office in our beautiful state. Yes, it's
      colder than a witch's t*t up there. Yes, there's snow for ten
      months out of the year. Yes, Troy isn't the prettiest little city
      I've ever seen (personally, I like Rochester). And while Rome
      wasn't built in a day, neither was Syracuse (okay, I stole that
      one from the Three Stooges, but I couldn't resist...). The bottom
      line is that the Jewish Alps...er...Catskills are still some of
      the prettiest sights on the east coast, as are the
      Adirondacks...as long as you're a mountain person like I am. ;-)
