You called Linksys to ask about an AppleTalk wireless solution and hear they don't do Mac and don't support Mac. While I'm not sure I would call this prejudiced, I do think it's a poor business decision. Especially considering how much cross platform compatible hardware there is anymore. If all us do-it-yourself Mac geeks can make this stuff work, it shouldn't be that difficult to add a small tech-support staff to walk folks through getting the Mac connected. Heck, all I did to get my Linksys WAP-11 to work with my iBooks AirPort card was take it out of the box and plug it in. I can connect to other Macs on my network via TCP/IP (which I enabled in File Sharing). I just can't print...yet. However an even poorer business decision would be a company that does support Mac, yet offers no AppleTalk compatible wireless solution. As I indicated before, I could find no AppleTalk wireless solution at Asante or Farallon. -makmac -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
