Hi Wayne
Thanks a lot for your helpfull feedback.
Thats' exactly what I needed because I didn't want lots of trouble with my
internet link due to the issues that can arise with flaky features like WPA
you have mentioned. So I will stick to WEP and keep things very simple. May
be I will play more when I get a spare one these.
Thanks
Dave
