I guess they don't have different firmware for overseas use. I believe 
Canada is also limited to 11 channels. I never really was a ham radio 
guy, but this Wi-Fi stuff is turning me into one...by necessity! Radio 
waves? I'm the LAN guy!

<OT story>
I had a call a few months ago to configure some Cisco equipment 
("routers", as I was told). When I asked the prospective client about 
the particulars, I was advised that these pieces needed to be configured 
for a client in South Africa. They needed to be configured here in New 
York, then shipped out, with one of the three units staying in the rack 
up here. Okay... I've never been one to be all that comfortable with 
those situations, as invariably, I'm the poor idiot who's got to get on 
a plane when the remote boxes don't work upon arrival. But, I digress...

I then asked the prospective client what model number(s) the Ciscos 
were, as I wanted to be sure to do my homework before even opening my 
mouth to guesstimate how much time & expense it would be. When he gave 
me the numbers, I was completely baffled. "I've never heard of these 
before. What, exactly, are these units?" I inquired.

"Voice over IP routers," he said.

To that, I replied, "Thanks, but no thanks. You've got the wrong guy." 
The response was that VoIP was the wave of the future and that I should 
learn it. Huh? I'm the LAN guy! I don't do telephones!

If this Wi-Fi stuff continues on its current path, I may live to eat 
those words!! :-)
