for the record, our completed proof of concept is WAY beyond 802.11b (which
is 11 M/sec) According to our marketing fluff (somewhere on the website)
we're going to deliver 'multiple channels of digital video and CD quality
audio simultaneously.' [We buy the Linksys routers by the boatload for our
home networks; so cool to sit in on the front porch, connected to the LAN at
work. Telecommuting is a hoot]

And since I'm wandering a bit from the path:

<tip>
When writing Active Server Pages, include 'Option Explicit' which will force
you to dimension all variables before they can be used. It helps prevent
errors due to typos, accidentally referring to the same variable by two
similar names, and various other Tools of the Invisible Elves which can make
troubleshooting difficult.

Big fat pipe plus 802.11b wireless LAN in the house?

Otherwise known as a Linksys wireless router...

Tellin' ya - if I had the cash, I'd get the switched one,
and offer free local wireless access to the net... like
this lot:

Of course, it's technically illegal in the UK. Nice
commentary from this week's http://www.ntk.net

Cheers
