[Ti] airport base

[Daniel T Kegan]

Apple's Airport BaseStation advantages:
a) setup ease;
b) availability of adding external antenna to base-- may be especially 
helpful for Ti PowerBooks
      (Dr Bott has directional & omni antennas);
c) modem-- DSL does seem to go down once in a while;
d) supporting the company that makes past, present, and hopefully 
future Macs.
Apparently one can drill and add antenna to standard ABS but that 
likely violates FCC rules and
may cause radiation problems.
