Sounds like something that might be useful to have on the Wiki, as soon as
you guys got that sorted out, Ronnie & Gavin! Might help plenty users
who'll hafta walk the same plank in the next months to come...
Cheers,
DJV.
P.S.: It's the same approach I take with my GruendelsteinPad and the G4
Powerbook I'll get next week. Plus I think about a parallel/serial BT
adapter (manufactured by Sphinx, makers of the Pico BT cards) for my
LaserJet... Whenever I got some whatever to report, it'll be up at the Wiki.
P.P.S.: Ronnie, while I preach BT though I'm not a user yet, a
cable-solution still may be your thing, considering the sites you
mentioned. I haven't heard BT named in such a context yet, but I know that
WLAN is strongly discouraged to downright persecuted in some
security-sensitive environments. So perhaps Keyspan be thy plank, Ronnie.
