RE: Re: Wireless LAN?

[Craig Callander <craig@xxxxxxx>]

I picked up one of these last month:

http://www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/gate/default.asp

In CompUSA in the US for $99.00, they had stacks and stacks, maybe a
discontinued line??

I needed a HPNA (telephone) <-> Ethernet bridge (dont have Cat5 yet),
so
using existing telephone for 10Mb feed t  Audiotron. It also does
DHCP/firewall/NAT/Wireless/etc.

The pana device has a PCMCIA slot, that takes a pana Wireless Card, these
are $150 on Pana web site, I guess street price is lower. I cant comment on
the wireless capability yet, as I dont have cards, but I plan t  'borrow'
some non-pana cards t  try one day.

I had considered this but with prices of proper AP coming down I
think I'll just go for one of them.  Also I want t  be able t  plug
the AP in anywhere round the house so I can experiment and get best
coverage.

Thanks
