All of the comsumer 11g routers will throttle down to 11b.

The cards are still listed on the Artem website. But that's in Germany and
Mensys is in Holland. There is/was a Canadian distributor in Montreal, and
one in Toronto...Does anyone know the name of the Montreal shop? Jacaranda
Business Systems of Toronto seems to have 'gone dark'. The web site front
page is still up, but there is no phone number and no listing that I can
find..

Sounds like there is some hoarding going on in this universe....

I knew that. However it appears that there are 3 'flavours' and *one*of
them is "blessed".

Yes. And I would also be assured that one day I would be rich. I just need
to buy a lottery ticket every time and eventually I will get
lucky...........
