you did have to pay a broadband suppplier a dime or two or three. Not free, so why fake it?

I have a degree in Physics, two in engineering, and an MBA, and I understand quite alot about 802.11. Was CEO of an 802.11 company. but I still had to sit for two hours wiht the technician for an 802.11 company to get the home hub working and configured the first time. And when I gave teh working already configured system to my son at his college aprtment, I had to once again work with both the 802.11 company AND his DSL provider to get around all the constraints of hooking it up.

Now if someone who has been an RF engineer, a software engineer, a UNIX systems administrator, a PC programmer, the implementor of hte Qualcomm eithernet network, a VLSI designer, a cellphone systems engineer, and a data implementor for TCP/IP for almost 5 years has trouble getting it to work, then how the hell would some guy who has a basket store figure it out?

Your are totally full of S**T in your posts and it is not just a simple plug and play for anyone, EVER. And it does break, which is the main item I was referring to. Not that some register clerk is going to understand it or ever have to. But if the wire gets undone (by the little 5 yr old that plays wiht it at the regsiter in starbucs where it is right out in the open) or worse the wire gets slightly broken, then the question still stands. Who pays to get it fixed and how fast and how well?

I could care less if you, super technogeek can hook it up and maitain it. the general public cannot.
