I goofed on my report that Apple cardbus support 1.3.5 would correct the Mac 
OS 9 problem of not allowing the MacAlly USB PCMCIA card to be inserted upon 
startup of the PB 2400. I should have tried several restarts before I falsely 
reported. Sorry about that.

On a brighter note I not only have the Farallon SkyLINE wireless PCMCIA card 
and Apple Airport working together (thanks to the outstanding tech support of 
Farallon and a replaced Airport base station through Outpost.com), but I just 
installed the WaveLAN PCMCIA card and it worked right out of the box!

That is, after I downloaded the drivers from WavLAN.com as the provided CD, 
even though it states for MAC, will not be recognized. Once I down loaded the 
driver software and restarted with the WaveLAN PCMCIA card inserted it 
"talked" to the Airport (and, hence, my RoadRunner cable modem through the 
ethernet hub) immediately and I was on line without further adieu!

This is being sent from my bedroom with the Airport base station in my office 
some fifty feet away. I will experiment later on distances, but I think I saw 
a reference whereby one can purchase an extended antenna for the WaveLAN. 

Any comments, please, re the antenna.

WaveLAN was purchased through MacMall.com.
