Great!  Thanks for the reply.  I now have another follow-up question as
well:  The reason I'm getting one of these is because I don't have a phone
at home and the DSL and cable-modem people won't hook us up without it.
What I want to do is to hook the Ricochet up to a FreeBSD box and have that
be the gateway and then have my own little internal network in the house.
Does this sound feasable or should I look into other options?  If so, can I
use ppp?  Thanks again for your help with this!
