Next message: Brian Durant: "[WinMac] 98lite and USB support."
The closest thing I've found is Symantec Moble Essentials and it's not
nearly as clean (or as, um, consistent) as Location Manager. Apparently
it's using undocumented APIs. You still have to reboot when you change
locations, but it lets you change locations when you shutdown (sometimes;
like I said, it's not consistent) so if you shutdown at home and know the
next startup will be in the office you don't need to reboot. It also has
major problems with switching between DHCP and fixed addresses and the work
around (which doesn't always work) is on Symantec's site)
