Exactly the conclusion we came to while evaluating for office use - just
wh=
o are Buffalo? Are they a rebadger, if so, who's kit, and why are they
_so_=
much cheaper than the competition..... suspiciously cheaper!

Anyone (ant !) know about interoperability between manufacturers? Eg if we

bought Buffalo, 3com etc to experiment with ranges, are we likely to find
s=

stan=
dard more or less.

(hopefully not in a DVD standard fuzzy adherence sort of a way......!)
