Tony and Gottfried, These two are close. Now, just need to put the two ideas _together_. Put wireless capability together with the DSP to transmit/receive/encode/decode/error correct on a single piece of silicon and stick it in a PCMCIA card. My question was really more of a theoretical one - I'm not dying for this capability immediately. I'm just wondering what single company or set of companies might have the intellectual property to do something like this, and whether it hasn't happened yet because of fundamental technological limitations at this point in time, or just because the appropriate companies/demand/pricing haven't come together. From the links you sent me it looks like it _might_ be the former, but maybe not. Maybe BRCM could do something like this if they put their mind to it. Thanks for the replies - what else would we be doing on a Saturday Night? :) Regards, Doug
