Yet another anonymous poster: --------------------------- If you don't see 802.11b access points the store is probably using older FHSS-based cards (frequency hopping spread spectrum) instead of the newer DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) cards. Since the physical layer is different, new cards won't see older access points. Most POS systems based on 802.11 use cards OEM'd from Symbol, the original Spectum24 cards. The new Spectrum24 High Rate cards use DSSS instead of FHSS. --------------------------- BB
