There is only one "Wavelan", so I expect that it might be. The range of the units varies tremendously depending on the antenna (the standard Wavelan antenna is a 4" patch), whether an external booster is used and on general environmental considerations (noise, alignment, etc). OTOH, I have seen other bridges with lots more power and different hardware, so it's possible not. > --Chris Csanady -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
