[P1] G3 iBook SE on a Wireless Net

FWIW:
It's possible for an 11g wireless access point to comm with
11g clients faster than with 11b clients even tho both are
active at the same general time, tho the "faster" is not full
11g.  It would be a matter of flags in the comm frame headers
and tricky processing & timing.  As I understand it, the
Apple Extreme basestation doesn't do this, but I believe
Buffalo's 11g access point (WRT54G ??) has a setting to do
this.  Buffalo is a reputable, Mac-friendly wireless
equipment company, I think I've read that their 11b
products even route AppleTalk.
