On /. a few weeks ago, I saw some good links to wireless info on oreillynet.com (or something like that). Find it yerself if ya want it :) One thing they mentioned was that the basestation radiates out mostly horizontally, so putting it on top of your house might be a bad idea since you'd be under it all the time. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
