[Ti] AirPort Base Station use in Italy

[David DelMonte]

I live in Greece part of the year. In my house there, I have two abs 
(extremes), one of which is connected to an ISDN router. That's 
connected to an ISDN modem. Works ok. I get some drop off sometimes 
(the internet access just doesn't work). I shut everything down and 
restart and things are ok again. I have not yet diagnosed what 
component is causing the problem.

I didn't have to make any special software configuration changes to get 
my network running. I did have a hell of a time with the local ISP - 
nothing to do with using a mac, but because their account website is in 
greek and my greek is not yet that good. Also, none of my mac browsers 
would render their site well. So I had to get their customer service to 
help me.. But no real problems other than that.

Hope this is useful anecdotal info.
