Subject: To Wire or To Wireless - That is the question - OT somewhat
The phone line (drop) in my home computer room is dead. Has been for many
years.

I am considering two choices.

1) Get the phone line fixed.

2) Get wireless from the bedroom to the computer room.

Background:

I do all my high speed net stuff at the office (very large bandwidth).

Dial up from home will server me well for what I need to do from home.

Questions:

1) What type of wireless equipment (manufacturer and model) would anyone
recommend to well with Linux, with 56K (or slower) dialup, with someone
(provider) like EMR.

2) At some point I may want to go with something like Qwest DSL (to EMR),
would that change the recommendations?

Thanks
