They can plug in with a wire to 100Mbps, but they find it easier to just use the wireless. They use it to access both the local LAN and the Internet. We have a Cisco PIX firewall for the wired LAN, and the wireless blocks all connections except for a hand-maintained list of MAC addresses. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix GnuPG KeyID: 0xD5C7B5D9 / Email: abreauj-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org GnuPG FP: 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
