	I have the Apple AirPort base station.  I tried using the PC 
software (Karlbridge?) to configure it.  It wouldn't work.  It could 
read configuration information, but IIRC, I couldn't get it to change 
anything.

	I also have a lot of problems with the unit getting out-of-sync 
with the computers, such that I can't even reboot it remotely with 
the provided administration software.  I have to unplug the power 
cord, leave it off for a few seconds, and then plug it back in again 
-- Frequently.

	I hope and pray that once I get the ISDN router working, this 
thing will work okay as a wireless/wired bridge, and leave all the 
"hard" stuff to the ISDN router.
