Hello All: I stand corrected. Mike just let us know how Linksys has changed its colors. Hurrah!
Not only does Linksys now point to MacTechnologies but also to setup instructions on Macworld's web site: http://www.macworld.com/2000/12/01/howto/router.html However, the links are a bit obscure. It took me a few minutes of hunting around in FAQ and Knowledge Base. Inserting "Macintosh" in the KB search box brings up a couple sets of Mac info, and finally I inserted "Macintosh" in the search box at the bottom of the home page and meandered to a router product description page which has links to Macintosh setup information. One page is: http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=20&grid=34 But even on this sheet, Linksys seems not to be entirely converted to the Macintosh idea because the bottom of the same description page says: QUOTE: This router is compatible with All window Operating systems. Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, NT, and Me. UNQUOTE Also, a description page for USB hubs mentions compatibility with Macintosh.
