Best wishes for you and your sister and family. This can be a time to build strength within the family and it seems you are on track to do that. Get someone on the net to find where any cutting edge work is being done on your sister's condition. I know some hopeless cases that have benefited in quality of live from this approach.

Can't answer the wireless question. These rules generally err on side of playing it safe rather than based on reality. You can ask or you can do and wait for response. I can see the benefit in having the connection.

"From what I'm told, wireless can't still enter the hospital?"

I dunno, but having worked in a hospital, they are a mess of ungrounded and poorly grounded equipment. Surprisingly low-tech too, I doubt if there are many that have access points available.

Regular, 56k modems might be doable, though...

Amy,

My late wife spent quite some time at Memorial Sloan Kettering two years ago. I found it almost impossible to use a cell phone in the hospital itself, and totally impossible to get a reliable connection. Her floor, however, had two PCs with fast internet connection in the patients lounge, but her floor was exceptional.

Good luck.
