Trouble is, the set of interesting wi-fi access-point based networks (it won't do ad-hoc networks either) is...zero. The sorts of places I'd want to use it are like in a hotel with wifi that I'm going to a covnention at, and those you always have to log in on. Heck, you have to log in to my home wifi network. And it won't do ad-hoc, so you can't use it to talk to the computer sitting on the table directly, either. It sounds neat at first, but it seems like in practice I could *never* use it for anything. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
