God Ole 802.11b (aka WiFi) is completely cross platform, although it may only come with PC "software" that would only be for setting it up, once it's set up any WiFi device should be able to connect. > I know my iMac is Airport 'ready' but I don't know A. if there is a > router (D-Link, etc.) that will work with it and winboxes, and. . .

OK here's the tricky part, if you want to go with a PC card then you need to find 2 things, 1) a pc-pci carrier card to go in your Mac and 2) a pc card to go in the above, AND you need to find drivers for both. OR You can get an Ethernet or USB to WiFi bridge that you can use on a Mac (Linksys makes one I think) this option is much less headache :-) Hope this helps -- Rob AOL IM wingnut022074 A computer without Windows is like a dog without bricks tied to its head. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
