[wslinux] On Linux and Winmodems

[Diana Kirk]

Hi John,

I meant to reply to your "Happy Canada Day" post, but with one 
thing and another, I still haven't gotten to it and I'm sorry 
about that.

I've been meaning to set up a wireless network in my office, but 
haven't done it yet. I looked at a description for NetGear MA401 
and it says a range of 175 to 500 feet indoors and 835 to 1650 
feet outdoors. Are you getting that?

The description only lists Windows compatibility (though not XP or 
Vista). It is good to know that it works with Linux.

Happy trails,
Diana
