Wireless LANs

["Hawes,Timothy Edward (GEG)" <haweste@xxxxxxx>]

Guys,

Ok, I've trawled through the archives and read between the lines of the
posts a bit more and some you have the Linksys WAP11 with Lucent Orinoco
Silver 802.11b cards, sourced though a Dr John bulk buy, correct ?

What's this setup like to use in practice ? Would you recommend it ? And
where can I get the Orinoco Silver cards in the UK ?

How many of you are using 802.11b cards with 802.11g APs, and does it work
? I see Tony & Paul are having trouble with their Belkin & Linksys
'G' APs. Are 'G' cards and 'G' APs ok ?

Comments welcome :-)


Thanks,

Tim H.

Forgot to mention, Fuji is running Win95, do I *need* to upgrade to Win98SE
?

Coming a bit late to the Fuji party so I'm a bit short on the necessary
info to get it working on a wireless lan. The Fuji Yahoo group seems to
have disappeared, and there's only patchy information in the archives.
Hence a few questions . . .

1. Does the Fuji group exist elsewhere ? If not, does anyone have the
archives in a form that I could access ?
2. Couldn't seem to access the FAQ either . . .
3. Is there a handy hints guide to setting up a Fuji on a wireless lan ?
4. What flavour of serial cable do I need to connect my Win2K laptop to the
Fuji to get file transfer going ?
5. I *know* there was a recent post on DB9 connectors on Cat5 cable but
just can't seem to find it in my, or the UKHA archives - can anyone oblige
?

Finally, what wireless lan card & AP do I need for my Fuji ? ISTR a lot
of you went for the Linksys AP, but with which card ? Also, ISTR, that the
card for the Fuji needs to be 16 bit - does that make it a Type I or Type
II card ?

If I can get an AP to support the Fuji, plus 802.11g that'd be great. Also,
any recommendations for 802.11g cards (laptops with Win2k, & XP)

Cheers,

Tim H.
