[H] PCMCIA Wireless NIC

I need a new wireless NIC for my Thinkpad. The problem is that I have a oversized USB2 PCMCIA card, and my Belkin PCMCIA NIC is also over sized. Consequently, I can only use one at a time. I want to get a new slim PCMCIA NIC that will work with the USB2 PCMCIA card and also accept an

RE: [H] Testing for an internet connection..

How about putting the burden on the landlord? If the landlord can't demonstrate the internet connectivity you require prior to rent/lease then no deal. At a minimum, you should be able to plug your own laptop into the building manager's router, get a local IP from the router and connect. _jim

Re: [H] Testing for an internet connection..

Are you looking for apartments that have a working connection thru an ISP or ones that are wired but not active account? If it is the former, I think that would be a very difficult thing to put on the landlord - you are basically having them be responsible for the Internet connection and

Re: [H] Testing for an internet connection..

We know if the units are connected, we just need to confirm that the service is turned on. We master lease the apartments, and some tenants don't want it and others do. So in these apartments (thousands of them across the U.S.) the service gets switched off and on frequently and we lose track

Tough for the landlord, but better for you since if you can't get a working demo up front, there's no guarantee you'll ever get one. In my neighborhood - telco=Verizon - we've been trying for more than 6 years and STILL can't get DSL - but peeps less than 1/2 a mile from me can get DSL (albeit

RE: [H] Testing for an internet connection..

I think RadioShack has a little LED indicator that will tell you if there's 48 VDC on your in-house pairs. If you already know that DSL service is available up to the building, then the lights will tell you if the wires are hot. If you plug in a phone set or a modem, you could even test for a dial
