There is a slight advantange to using an Airport base station over other routers and access points. The way that Apple handles WEP keys is very slick but only works slickly with the Airport base station. I still haven't got WEP working with my MR314 but, as I understand it, I merely have to put hex keys in instead of a password. For me, it's not worth $150+ for this functionality. -Mick -- -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
