I agree, Neil. Frankly, I'm just as happy to see the real code crunching 
done under an embedded OS in the box, instead of on my already-burdened 
computer.

Toward that end (now that we're talking about compatible hardware), and 
I haven't checked out the OCHL as yet, are there any USB Wi-Fi adapters 
with OS/2 drivers? Seems to me, this shouldn;t be a major stumbling 
block, as the chipset inside the USB adapter should be pretty much the 
same as that in a PCMCIA card. The nice thing about the USB boxes is 
that you can locate them where the signal is best (well, the restriction 
is the length of the USB cable). LinkSys even provides a little velcro 
to attach the unit to a surface.
