I switched to 100 BT switched ethernet. It's just more practical if you are doing development, sharing files, transferring large images, etc. I've tried DSS / 11 Mbit gear and found it's very nice for those applications, but that was *after* I'd already installed 100 BT around the house. I have a wireless DSS uplink at 500 Kbits, and that works fine. RF is not a perfect science, reboots, temporary interference, etc. all contribute to temporary interruptions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joćo Pagaime" To: "Brian" ; "FreeBSD Mailing List" Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 9:30 AM Subject: Re: Wireless LAN > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brian" > To: "FreeBSD Mailing List" > Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 3:52 PM > Subject: Re: Wireless LAN > > > > ok, I've been thinking of doing something like this, to keep cat-5 out > of my > > living room.
