[SunRescue] poor man's wireless ethernet

[Ken Hansen]

Yes - it is almost a religion (*almost*)...

Having 802.11b in my house makes me want to convince others to
buy in to this technology...

My cost was 2x 3Com cards $free (from Toshiba
FreeCard/class-action lawsuit settlement) and a Linksys
AccessPoint for $300 (had to go to CompUSA once the 3Com cards
arrived - Buy.com is way too backordered to consider... I want
it *now*!).

You want this, you need this, you will get it - what are you
waiting for?

Yeah, Apple. :-)

(I was able to snag the airport new, in opened box for $200.
Add less that
$100 for airport cards, and we went wireless for under $400.)
As for other
systems, Farallon's PCMCIA "Skyline" card works, and can be
found cheaply.
(I just sold one on eBay for $94.)

It's addictive.  I'm doing my Email at the breakfast table...
