  1. have a look at Nortel by SubtleNuance · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nortel has some really good product: here, their VOIP handsets/desktop phones and software-based-voip-phones are *very* cool... coupled with a 802.11x AP, it is VERY COOL. Ipaq + 802.11x CF Nic + Nortel Software == wirless phone in your office.

    This is probably a good time to create a current review of the long distance (>> 300 ft) Wireless solutions that are available in the market.

    Richochet is one http://www.ricochet.com/

    Disabling SSID essentially only means that 100% listeners can't see it if someone isn't using it. However if someone is, then they can. SSID and WEP really have some big security holes. IPsec is very good compared to it. For SSID, if someone sees you (re)connect once it's lost, and can lead to breaking wep quite easily.
