Thanks Andy, I will try it. I have a high number of those bad boys on a
shelf as well. I have since been using YDI's client Eth-Ant, but I am
looking into CWLAb's CPEs. (Still got you in thought, Charles, just
working through current inventory..) The only use I have thought of
for em' is for Hotspot static users, such as a client that is WELL
within range of an AP and has a PC instead of a laptop. Our bandwidth
allocation in the net is 384 average, so
they suffice, but I refuse to install any more in long shot/antenna
set-ups, as I have spent the last year replacing those, (along with
those wonderful pigtails...) Glad to see the industry moves forward as
a whole.
Anyone out there got any great ideas for these dinosaurs? I am still
playing around with learning what they are made of...
Sorry for the "off topic" post, I know these are not Karlent...
