I haven't done a comparision, but the thing about the ABS is that even though it has a poor antenna, you can move it around to optimize reception. I currently have mine sitting on top of a bookshelf. You usually don't have that kind of freedom with a software base station. :) -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality." --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
