Is this right? Unfurtunately we've tried prism and the timing isn't as good as the orinocos for long distance customers (12 miles.) At this point we are just looking for a way to lock a channel permenately in the psuedo access point mode we're in now, or switch to station-server star-OS for the hilltops. Thanks, if you need my config i'll forward this to the sys adm. Bob C On Sat, 2 Nov 2002, M.
