More info?)
I am using 802.11B and LInksys equipment. Some of the hardware would only
work with B originally (Palm and TIVO) but I suppose I could now convert to
a G/B dual setup that would enable G to flow between the TIVOs and still
have B available for the Palm. A wired connection is not practical in my
setup.
Thanks for your help.
