Unfortunately this does happen, but on the bright side, 11mbits is still double the speed of a 802.11b network which really runs at 5-6mbits : ) SMC and others (?) have incorporated a firmware called Nitro into their products which allows mix mode networks to run at 20mbits. 20mbits is about the speed a pure 802.11g network would provide. Here is an interesting story on the topic: http://www.computerworld.com/mobiletopics/mobile/story/0,10801,81498,00.htm l -- Lucas Tam (REMOVEnntp@rogers.com) Please delete "REMOVE" from the e-mail address when replying. http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/coolspot18/
