Hi Neil, Great! - thanks for your suggestions. The wireless card options would have been my next question, so thanks for that as well. I think I will probably need to carry around a 10/100 card when travelling in order to make use of broadband equipped hotel rooms and office environments that don't have wireless infrastructure, but wireless at home would be great. I should have mentioned - I have two 100's (bought a second hand spare just recently) and a 110 waiting for me when I next visit the US (one of those ebay auctions that woudnt ship International, so a friend is holding it for me) so my old card won't go unused either. I havn't really looked at the wireless technology much yet. Are there competing technologies out there, or are they all inter-operable?
