Crack has not yet 'gone down', per say. It is, however, under an extremely heavy load. Because of that, sometimes you cant get through on one service, but more often than not if you cant get through on HTTP you can still ping it or telnet in. In any case, you also have to remember that Crack is a much, much slower box than the Windows 2000 test box. Its also more than likely on a slower line. Id be willing to bet that the people who have been DoSing Win2k are now turning their attention to Crack, and that is probably why you are having trouble getting through.
If you go to the Airport faq it says specifically that this will be compatible with both PCs and existing IEEE 802.11 DSSS devices.
Also, I dont know anything about that standard, but I found this:
The 802.11 DSSS standard currently supports a data rate of 2 Mbps with collision avoidance. Future generations of standards-compatible DSSS products from Zoom are expected to have data rates up to 11 Mbps with backward compatibility to 2 Mbps products.
on the Zoomtel website. I guess that means that were going to see other devices that can perform the same way as Apple's Airport
