[P1] Questions about Airport

[Richard McKay]

Karsten,

The others should have won you over by now...if not...go airport. You will
wander around the area with a silly smile on your face in pleasure from the
freedom it allows. Cables are ugly and belong in the Windoze world.

There is a document around on how to set up an airport network on the apple
site called "designing airport networks 2.pdf" but I can't seem to find the
link right now, if you don't find it then I can send it to you off list if
you wish. (1.3 MB in size).

There are sure to be other chapters of books on the subject as well if you
search a good computer book store in your area or online.

HTH,

P.S. If I didn't mention it before...go airport.

Richard
