I have a "New" Powerbook G3 (no Series). I want to put a Orinoco Gold card in it and get a wireless router to connect it to the network. Some questions:
First does anyone know someplace to get an Orinoco Gold for less than $65. Which routers support AppleTalk between the wireless and wired LAN. This is a must for me, just to be able to print. I don't know why but this should be difficult but it seems like the device should transfer ANY Ethernet packets. As a general question can the wireless routers be used simply as an access point. That is, to connect a wired LAN to wireless computers. It seems some at least should be able to based on looking at some features. I have a software router now and want to stick with it unless I can find a hardware router than can do as much. Are there any low cost routers that not only do port mapping but also remap the port numbers. I think this is a big limitation of the ones I've seen so far. They'll map one port number to a computer on the LAN but what if you have two or more computers you want to make available. For example you can have multiple computers accessible by AppleShare IP or Timbuktu by mapping them to different port numbers (549, 550,... and 408, 409, ... respectively).
