Hi,
Just trying to dispel some rumors on a mail list, is this true?:

"Whatever you do, avoid Linksys. They are a 100% anti-Mac company. No
Mac user should EVER buy their products. They offer no Mac support and 
will
even void your warranty if you have an equipment problem and they find
out you use a Mac."
Thanks,
Peter Grenier

Yes, they call it the "Wireless Access Filter" in the setup utility.

The only advantage is you will have less tax to pay on your bank 
accounts.
I just replaced an AirPort BS and a Linksys Router(paid $425 total) 
with a Netgear MR314 ($60 after rebate) Better reception with my 
TiBook. Setup may be more difficult, but it is via browser and the 
router supports AppleTalk. Netgear supports Macs, so there is tech 
support.

The WallStreet sleep issue involved not waking from sleep because of a 
magnet in the IBM (IIRC) drive tripping the reed switch in the 'book 
casing. You couldn't wake the 'book at all.
According to my WallStreet user's manual you had to press a key to wake 
the book, as I remembered.

Nope, only the newer machines.
