    I was reading a review of seven wireless routers on MacWorld's website <http://www.macworld.com/2002/07/reviews/routers/> and four of the ones they were reviewing supported AppleTalk over the wirelss connection. One of those four was Netgear but when I went to Netgear's site to learn more about this particular router, there was no mention of AppleTalk at all. How is one suppose to know if it can do AppleTalk or not?

    The Barricade was not in the review but I will look into it. If anyone knows of any other wireless routers that allow you do do AppleTalk over the wireless connection please let me know.

    And what about the PC Cards? Seems like there's a lot of them out there but few of them have Mac drivers. Can you load the Apple Airport software and use that with any card? It doesn't seem like that should work. What wireless card are you using? I'm going to need it to work in my PB3400.
