I think that the terminology "WLAN" is misleading in this instance,
because what Ralph (Chip?) is actually asking about is what ought to be
termed a WAN - Wide Area Network (WWAN maybe? heh). But sometimes
technical language doesn't evolve in a sane way...
Anyway, there is a mailing list and web site created by TriLUG members
for discussion of these and other wireless technologies. We are the
Triangle Wireless Users Group -- http://www.triwug.org/ and we invite
you to join our mailing list and add things to the wiki. TriWUG is OS
agnostic and open to anyone. We also have an IRC channel, #triwug on
irc.freenode.net . Lose those cables and join on in!
