Subject:	SCOUG-Help: So now we can go wireless?

Content Type: text/plain

Jerry Rash's talk this morning (thank you Jerry!) concluded with the
fact that he was running his Dell laptop wirelessly, using the new
GenMAC driver mentioned in this month's Download column. Jerry listed
the adapters that work with this release of GenMAC.

It sounds as if we eCS'ers / OS/2'ers are about ready for the wireless
experience.

I'd like to ask (1) if it makes sense for me to install wireless, and
(2) if someone can provide a step by step methodology for doing so.

I have an older PC system built for me by Indelible Blue, and a newer
one I bought from Dell in January, 2005. The old PC has Win2K Pro, OS/2
FP12, and eCS 1.1. The new PC has WinXP Home and eCS 1.2, and (I'm
pretty sure) has some wireless capability built in, though I haven't
studied what it is.

Right now, they are sitting approximately 36 inches apart, but I'd like
to move one upstairs in my house. The reason they are side by side is
that I have one "cable modem", and can switch the cable between the two
PCs as needed. If they were connected wirelessly, I assume I wouldn't
have to worry about keeping them on the same desk.

Thanks in advance,
Colin
