[P1] OT - 2.4 ghz phones/Airport interference

[Mary C. Youra]

When we first setup our wireless home network, then two iMacs and one 
clamshell iBook (mine) connected by Airport to a snow ABS, my iBook was 
the one that had trouble from the 2.4 Ghz phone. Neither iMac did, only 
my iBook. Changing channels didn't help. Perhaps it had to do with 
location--the ABS and iMacs are upstairs, the iBook and the phone were 
downstairs. I kept losing signal whenever someone used the phone 
(actually, the drop would come when someone hung up). We reverted to a 
900 mhz phone, and all was well. We've since switched to a 5.8 ghz, and 
that works fine, too.
