Bah, 8-track sucked as the tapes aged you would get horrible bleed from
the other tracks... :)
I do concur that the 230 while expensive as time went on, was a very
solid piece of equipment. In fact it still runs a large part of my
network and I don't think I have had one fail in over 2 years. While I
understand the tight budget mentality I was willing to spend more on the
AP side than the CPE side. Failure and replacement of an AP is
significantly more costly than replacing a CPE. A downed CPE effects one
customer and requires a ladder. A downed AP effects 10s of customers and
requires a harness and extra hands.

Just my 2 cents... PCMCIA radio cards are much less in demand for the
PC world than mini-pci... We, as consumers, needed to follow the

the WISP environment, they are dependant on parts that are made for the
mini-pci boards. That drives the market and our availability.
Most certainly true. I was mostly just lamenting the fact that PC card
format was losing market share. I kinda liked 8-track, too. :-)
