Subject: [OS2Wireless] WEP encryption, MAC filter

Lewis, =


I opted for the SBC Yahoo DSL package for $29.95/month and already think =
it
is  a good deal. I've communicated with a more senior tech this morning a=
nd
 confirmed the inability to filter on MAC addresses but they are planning=

to  update their firmware in the near future to even include WAP security=
,
but I  suppose we all know what that may mean. <G> =


Anyway, the firmware is flashable over the DSL connection, so we'll see.
You  know, I think it's one of those situations where try as you might to=
 =

investigate hardware beforehand, you always seem to learn much more after=

you  own it. =


BTW, I went to the Long Island blog site and signed up, saw a few posts a=
nd
am  anxious to get the Mozilla Blog client for my new ThinkPad. As much a=
s
I've  despised MS in the past, I find myself liking the new XP software.
Once I get  a handle on it and get the system configured to my liking, I'=
m
going to create  a disk image, reformat and load eCS v1.1 and begin
experimenting with it. I  have a feeling it'll be a bit more involved (bu=
t
I'm used to that by now) but  I feel the need to bang my forehead some
more. <G> =


Finally, I'm seeing some mention of SMC wireless routers and thought I'd =

solicit opinions on which people are using and how they like their
hardware. =


Later. =
