I wanted it to serve as a development portal and information exchange, not for the casual user, but for those of us in the trenches, supporting multiple stations for clients (or our own larger networks) and for developers looking for ideas and references. I wanted to migrate this list there, as well, because I wanted a good portion of Warptech to involve networking issues, and even started the wireless FAQ there. Of course, Jonas was hard at work expanding the wireless section of os2warp.be, and he did a fantastic job of it. I suppose I should have provided more feedback and support for him instead of moving off in my own direction. The point you raise about a single, authoritative resource is a good one, though. We really do need such a thing which is updated on a regular basis and has reasonable activity for discussion. I've surely open to suggestions. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
