The MCIS' networking group is very interested in all things wireless.
Joe Simpson is currently writing up documentation for folks who want
to use Airport on campus.

I've been helping with his testing. Some interesting factoids: with
one computer conncted to the base station at 50% signal strength, the
connection maxes out at 500K/s (ftp transfer). If another user
connects and maxes out his connection, both users get 250K/s. If
encryption is turned on, upload speeds drop by 20% and download
speeds drop by 10%.

The connection is remarkably robust. We've been able to connect to a
base station on the first floor of Hoyt from the third floor and from
100 feet outside the building.

We've been very impressed with how easy it is to set up and use.

So, Eric, can you use Airport in Lux, or are you too close to France?
