HG> I know, but I can't afford it. The next step up on WiFi is too expensive
personally speaking, i wouldn't be using wifi... it is insecure, easily
penetrated and highly suceptible to interference from electrical sources...
won't even mention it being slower than wired or fiber... i don't know what the
cost of DSL is over there but my 3M/768k line is only $40US... that's copper
for a mile or so where it connects into a DSLAM and jumps to fiber for the long
haul... $40US a month for a hobby plus additional capabilities is much less
than some people spend in a week on their hobbies...
