Lewis, 

Thanks, I've got it working now. One of the problems was that the eCS
2.0 Beta 3 did not install the drivers to go along with the rest of
GenMac. Once I manually installed the drivers into \IbmCom\Macs,
things worked much better. I now have wireless working on my T43.
Yeah!!!

oh my, now to expierence my first G level connectivity from OS/2.
