No, it's not a direct replacement for your off-the-BestBuy-shelf AP; but if for some reason you need more versatility; the USB and *multiple* mini-PCI interfaces offer a lot. You can add on SCSI cards, VGA cards, crypto accellerators, keyboards, more Ethernet interfaces... you name it. I might not have a need for a small, solid-state AP with a keyboard interface and a VGA display; but I'll bet you *somebody* does, and they might be willing to spend a few bucks extra to get it. :) Carl Soderstrom. -- Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
