Correct. Various employees of Breezecomm have indicated that the Raylink cards choke on some of the extended feature and proprietary enhancements found in the Breeze Access II access points. This was discussed in minute detail in the wireless ISP mailing lists at: http://www.isp-wireless.htm Search for "BAII vs Raylink" in the subject line. Be sure to read the stuff by Patrick Leary of Breezecom. >Isn't this what "standards" are supposed to protect John Q. Public from? Nope. That's what Interop and various compatibility testing forums are suppose to shove down the throats of those companies that dare deviate from published standards. Without enforcement, standards are worth zilch. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 (831)421-6491 pgr (831)426-1240 fax (831)336-2558 home http://www.LearnByDestroying.com WB6SSY jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us jeffl@cruzio.com
