up to go wireless with you guys, then I read an article about 52meg links in the
public domain in the US. HAs anyone else looked into this (I'm still
waiting for the ACA to get back to me on the legality of using that
bandwidth..)</FONT></DIV>

802.11b</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I see from some 11Mbit cards specs that they will do 802.11b
(11Mbit) and <BR>802.11 (2Mbit). I know not everyone has the $250-$300+
to play with 11Mbit <BR>cards. What scope is there for use of the far
cheaper 2Mbit cards ($80 <BR>odd) with the Melb Wireless network? Do
802.11b cards need to be forced to <BR>do 802.11 or will they autodetect
802.11 and seamlessly switch between that <BR>and 802.11b?<BR><BR>Or, should
2Mbit be confined to west Melb and east Melb kept 11Mbit? ;)
<BR><Flame retardant clothing on><BR><BR>Mind you, 802.11 should get
better range than 802.11b (due to the higher <BR>process
gain.)<BR><BR><BR>--<BR>To unsubscribe, send mail to <A
