Thanks, all.

That Netgear looks great, size-wise, and that will be more of a consideration for my contemplated boat install (for wireless VNC Empeg control). I can't say that I looked at 3Com -- I've harbored a nasty, irrational grudge against them ever since they suddenly dropped the core/Corebuilder products immediately after the project I was working on spent about a half a million on them (nasty surprise!).

For a while I was wandering around going -- why on earth would I want a WAP? Well, I just did the deed and bought a Zaurus 5000d and now I think I know!
