I'll look at that later - for now I'm happy to have TCP/IP via USB. I still don't trust wireless connections! It still needs to have quite a bit of setup on the PC, it's not something I could expect enabled elsewhere unless I took my own laptop at which point I might as well connect via the laptop. TCP/IP does seem easier for a portable device - Familiar supports DHCP and even using the preferred static IP, it's not hard to change the network details to fit in with an existing network - providing the network already has provision for masquerading and a usable subnet. Persuading someone to change some network settings is easier than asking them to setup one machine as a bluetooth host. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
