[Discussion] Wireless Game AdapterS: Any Gotchas?

[Thomas Clayton]

Dear POSSI:

It may be a bit strange having the original author repy to his own
letter but I'd forgotten to include a thought.

These Wireless Access Points (as the Asus unit in Douglas's letter was
called) OR Wireless Game Adapters (as the Linksys unit is called)
 are, of a class of devices, properly termed "/network bridges/".
They connect two networks using dis-similar media or protocols,
together. This is why TWO network addresses are required for them.

And the thought I'd forgotten at the end was:
It looks like I'm going to have to get used to carrying around another
little device container along with my TP770. Oh well. :-)
