You have to know what chipset it uses. Which is easy enough if you have the device, but if you're trying to determine compatibility *before* you buy (like I was doing), it's a bit tricky. You have to google either ways. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
