10/15   I need to replace my cordless phone.  I want to stick with 900MHz
        because I've heard 2.4 GHz commonly interferes with 802.11b.  I'd like
        2 handsets.  Any recommendations?  The Uniden ones appear to be static
        prone.
        \_ I recently bought a great Uniden 5.8ghz phone from fry's for
           I think $60. It sits about 4 ft from my 802.11b AP and they
           both work perfectly fine.
        \_ Panasonic.
           \_ Hell no! They still use memory-affected Ni-Cd rechargeable
              batteries. BTW AT&T and Uniden are the same.
           \_ Why don't you want a 5.8 ghz phone? I recenty bought a
              5.8 ghz Panasonic phone "system" from Fry's. It was $119
              - $20 MIR and the extra handset was $79. It doesn't interfere
              w/ my 802.11{b,g} clients.
              \_ Had heard 5.8GHz were still a problem.  What phone model is
                 yours?
                 \_ Panasonic KX-TG5240: http://tinyurl.com/3oqef

4/25    I have an Airport Express.  is there some way to let computer
        1 ping computer 2?  both computers are connected to wireless network
        successfully.  I can get to internet on both of them.  I just can't
        ping each other.  weird.  maybe they think that's a feature?
        \_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
           change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

11/11   Dumb question. My apartment has a bunch of inter-computer file
        exchange going on. Should I get a switch instead of a router to
        minimize traffic? Does it really make a difference? Let's say
        two computers exchanging info with each other are on the switch
        and the switch is connected to the router. The router will never
        know about the transfer between the two computers right?

5/31    I have a slow wireless router and slow fileserver on my network.
        Is there a video or media player (windows or unix) that is smart
        about caching content while playing it?  I would like to be able
        to hit play on a file from a file share, wait for it to catch
        up for a while because my connection is so slow, walk away for
        a while and come back and view my movie with no annoying skips. thanks.

Up to 4 handsets with just one phone jack You can put handsets all over your house-in your kid's rooms or even in t he garage-without all the messy wiring or complicated setup. With our 5 8 GHz expandable phone systems, you don't need a phone jack for each add itional handset-just one for the base unit. So start expanding and forge t about all your wiring worries. Long Range, Clear Sound, Minimal Interference Our 58 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology operates on a di fferent wavelength with much less traffic than the 24 GHz technology wh ile maintaining the great security, incredible clarity and long range. H ave a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? Panasonic cordless phones are the only cordl ess phones to incorporate true text-to-speech technology used in conjunc tion with your Caller ID service. There's no need for preprogramming or any fancy setup-as long as you have Caller ID service, just plug-and-pla y! Now you won't be interrupted by strange calls when you're washing the dishes, eating dinner or just watching TV. Let the phone tell you who's calling, so you can decide if you want to answer it or not. All-Digital Answering System This phone system is equipped with an all-digital answering system for qu ick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has nev er been easier, with up to 16 minutes of recording time and up to 3 mail boxes, plus such features as pre-recorded outgoing message, remote opera tion, Tollsaver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out-they're stored in flash memory so they' re unaffected by power failure or interruptions. Page Everyone Down to the Kitchen Table This expandable phone system lets you voice page all handsets in the syst em simply by speaking through the base unit. Voice Paging allows you to sp eak through all of the handsets simultaneously, so the people on the oth er end automatically hear your announcement through the handset speakerp hone. This year, we've found a way to shorten the handset antenna while still m aintaining the long range that Panasonic customers have become accustome d to. So turn off the ringer, let the kids sleep, and never miss a call. Put the Phone Down While You Talk Having a handset speakerphone may not seem like such a big deal-until you have to call an automated phone system. By the time you press "2" and r eturn the phone to your ear, you missed half the next option! And when t hey put you on hold for ten minutes, do you really need to hold the phon e? Just listen along, and press a but ton or pick up when it's convenient. You'll think up other great uses, l ike letting Grandma and Grandpa listen to their new grandchild at the sa me time, painting your nails as you talk to your best friend, or just be ing able to set the phone down while you talk.
