Hi, Jorj - You're right about CSMA/CA. The mistake was unintentional - some of this wireless stuff is acronymic hell. 'I would suspect that some of the interference with 802.11b networks would be mitigated (though not eliminated) by the different channels when DSSS is used.' I thought the same. Still, the probability is there, and as wireless usage grows, especially in a small area, the probability increases. The problem looks dangerous at 2.4 GHz with 802.11a and b, Bluetooth, and with miscellaneous devices, such as the one I mentioned, for which there is no standard. It is also applicable to HiperLAN 1 and 2. I've often wondered about this. I've said to myself, 'Surely* the responsible bodies have had the foresight to deal with these contention issues.'* I'm not so sure any more. Regards, Jim
