This was really interesting. I have been thinking of going wireless for a while but it seems
most wireless pc cards only work with pcs and macs, and they'r are a bit costly. Could you tell us a bit about the make of
your modem and how it works and how its set up. Is it like a modem or is it an IEE 802.11 compatible network card.
Where did you get it and what does it cost and what is the range of this thing
is it god for surfing or is it mail only and telnet?

Are anyone else running wireless connection on their Sparcbook?

Thanks!
Peter
