You hit it. We don't check everything we put up. For that matter, the manufacturers don't check them all either. They merely test the prototype and the rest are assumed good. The "certified component" idea would put the onus on the various manufacturers to assure that ongoing QC would keep things compliant. -------------------------------------------- Mark Koskenmaki <> Neofast, Inc Broadband for the Walla Walla Valley and Blue Mountains 541-969-8200 -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
