Re: [MLUG] Linux as a Wireless Access Point

[Marcus Semanek <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Access Points don't take up much space. They aren't 
expensive either, it won't cost that much more if any.
 Even at CircuitCity you can get a Netgear AP for $110
after $20 rebate and I imagine searching the net you
could find one cheaper than that.
