Mark,

to
see the piccies (they may give me some ideas!)

OK - won't be enough... but let's carry
on.

This is known as the "Mark Harrison"
solution :-)

Not if you just tape them to the wall. They
will
degrade in UV and
fall apart.
What I do is run "white plastic
trunking" down... I have some
piccies, but they're big... if you want me to
mail
them to you, drop
me a note off-list.

Not really. Mine was done by me, Mrs. H, James
Hoye, and Paul Wootton
of this list, with the planning done by Phil
Harris.

I'm
using a Netgear ME102
connected to

I don't know about the Netgears... The 802.11b
spec allows the mixing
of bridges and clients (done it with Cisco
kit)
but the Netgears may
be dumb.
