In the white paper linked from <http://www.intel.com/ebusiness/it/solution/wp032201_sum.htm>, Intel says that the maximum theoretical network performance you can see with 802.11b is 6Mbps (the 11Mbps number is for the radio transmissions one-way), and that the practical maximum throughput they see with an excellent network infrastructure is about 1.5Mbps. And that's shared. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
