I am told that the Apple "AirPort Base Station", which is $399, works well and can be configured with the Java-based thing in the ports collection. I am further told that the Lucent/ORiNOCO RG-1000 base station is virtually identical, although more expensive and somehow inferior, although I don't understand the exact inferiorities. I am thinking of getting one of these things, despite my strong desire to avoid owning such a stupid looking piece of hardware. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
