Are they concerned about what is in the traffic going back and forth from the wireless users to the wired network? In other words interception of the signal. Or is it a desire to isolate the wireless from the wired side of the network. If isolation is what is needed, it would seem a lot easier to

RJ-45 and RJ-48 as used for a T1 circuit are effectively the same. As long as the distance is not too great from the demarc to the router, Cat 5 UTP cable can be used. For long distances, shielded UTP is called for. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

On any architecture or topology you must consider the logical layout and the physical layout. Ethernet is logically a bus. Token Ring is logically a ring. Ethernet is physically a bus - as in 10Base5 and 10Base2 - or a star - as in 10BaseT. The bus arrangement of Ethernet
