thanks Jim, so the ClearWire modem is, just that, a modem. The person I am working with is a chat friend, and so I'm working blind in two ways. 1) I can't see their equipment AND 2) I don't know them well, and visa versa, so I'm talking about security issues where the trust level is weak, as it should be. Also, I notice that ClearWire is somewhat obscure and there isn't much tech talk on the web about the innards of this equipment.
My objective is to prove to this person that they have some encryption on their wired/wireless mix of computing systems. Thats about it. Put their mind at ease, somewhat, given the sloppy state of personal security in the computing world. Further, I am more computer artist then technician, so I'm weak also. I've been letting another do my Broadband access and now I have to learn myself. I pay for access to a WRT54GL w/ DD-WRT now I'm going to setup my own. Not to bend your ear, but I felt it was important to know my situation. I have enough hardware experience to know not to blow things up. I also have my own dummy network setup of Windoz and Linux systems spread around the house.
