Subject: [TCLUG] Semi-OT: Wireless Access Point?

My employer is about it issue me a new laptop with built-in support for
802.11[abg].  I'm thinking about getting a wireless access point for home.
Anyone have any suggestions for inexpensive local sources?

I only _need_ the WAP - but I'm willing buy a box with hub/router capability
built-in.  I probably don't really need better than b, because my outbound
DSL pipe is (IIRC), 640/128.  OK, the Linux box may have a 100MB card in it,
and the inside connection to my Cisco 675 claims to be 100MB, but those are
the only pieces in the home network that currently supports greater than
10MB.  I have one data transfer that I'm going to be doing sometime in the
nearish future that might be able to take advantage of a higher bandwidth,
but I'm willing to move ~3GB over my 10MB pipe.  It's just text (my
e-library), and if it takes several hours, so what?
