As an afterthought... If there is this much horsepower in this device wouldn't radius authentication be a better option?<br><br>Joseph Wennechuk<br>

I think I know where I can get some(10) cheap netbooks with 10.1' touch screens; I can't remember the brand/ Specs at present. Don down at E-Waste got some donated to him, and is having trouble getting them going again as netbooks. I think he might be inclined to piece them out. I'm positive that with a little tweaking this could be used with a router board, radio, and antenna in a more compact configuration for this project.<br>.<br><br>Joseph Wennechuk<br>
