Thanks for that info.
I looked at the Pyro a/v link. Very impressive. It states it can be used with
any PC or
Mac that is
Firewire 1349. The ibook i'm looking at states its Firewire 400. Will that unit
not be
compatible then.? I'm
not up on this at all, thus the quiry.
I'm currently on dial up but my isp offers wireless internet as well. My SO has
gfiven the
goahead to up
grade to at least hispeed if not wireless,so what you are saying is weither
wireless or
wired hi speed
or dialup, these routers offer firewall support. I think i read you correctly.
