List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I likewise just ordered some Linksys products, a 4port Hub/router with 802.11B Wireless DSS capability and a USB compatible Network Interface. This is far more expensive than $60 but the Router will provide a firewall. In addition, there are 4 ports on this model and with having the USB compatible Network Interface, I have the capability to have a floating intergface to network any PC in the household which supports USB. I found pretty good prices at: http://www.buy.com and no shipping charges. Yes they are less than www.cdw.com There are less expensive Wireless alternatives such as D-Link Systems and Netgear but i've seen that these aren't as well documented and since Linksys provides a web-based interface for configuration purposes which seems more accessible to a Screen Reader. although Linksys costs a little more, I felt it was the better choice. One more comment, the Firmware can be upgraded free by merely downloading new software whenever it's available. The Linksys products now support 128-bit wep encryption as well. There are a few different types of Network Interfaces available for Linksys, D-Link Systems and Netgear. Amanda Lee
