elmatador- Speaking of wireless LAN, I am writing on one now. It's very cool technology but FULL of bugs. When it works, it's fantastic. Being able to access my cable modem anywhere in and outside my home is great. I'm using Intel's Anypoint home networking. Only 1.4 mb/s speeds(not even half that speed in reality). I didn't purchase a 802.11 protocol system(which I believe is up to 10 mb/s speeds) because I knew this would be full of bugs and I would need strong tech support. Unfortunately I was correct. I have spent at least 10 hours on the phone with them de-bugging the system over the last month. It still does not work consistently. Of course we had to get the blame game(Microsofts fault, wireless phone fault, IBM fault, etc.) out of the way for the first 5 hours. At that point I was moved to a higher level support, and at that level they quit blaming everyone and focus on why the system doesn't work consistently. When we have true roaming capabilities with laptops(beyond the LAN), my feeling is it will catch on like wildfire. That's one reason I believe Teledesic(Internet in the sky) will be successful. -MikeM(From Florida)
