[TheForge] Shop Communications

[Jerry Frost]

I'm connected via a Linksys wireless-G 2.4ghz.

I'm not 110' from the base unit but it's rated for 
somewhat more than that. I get excellent download for a 
wireless connection.

There are others out there, though. Talking to your 
service provider is probably a good idea, some work 
better with some than others.
