Subject: [OS2Wireless] Hawking HWC54D PC Card with HiGain Antenna

Spake Harry,

I had in hand today a very recent PC World magazine which reviewed the
(same ?) device under a different brand. Reviewer reported that it
benefited enough from the adjustable antennae to have him/her overlook the
added fragility from the twist-adjustable antennae..

But that was probably a Win system. No public "g" drivers yet for OS/2/
eCS.

Better, as suggested elsewhere, to look into one of the pocket externals
that feed signal into your RSJ port and are powered by the USB port.
Perhaps $60US.

It would be a treat to see an aftermarket headband holder for the latter
that secured it up there for line-of sight best reception. With propeller
just for decoration. 

But :A Major-minor scandal just now in the US is that at least two tech
print columnists/editors have been taking $15K annually from several
companies to tout their products on guest appearances on TV news shows.
