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 p

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 Be
