Subject:   More details please!

A good article. However, I wish the author had provided more details on some of the other features and how they worked (or not) with his cross-platform environment.


In particular, I would be interested in learning whether any of the units worked with H.323 applications (eg. NetMeeting).


Also of interest is how the NAT and firewall functionality compare to Airport B.S. Currently on my base station I can forward specific ports only, while some software require a whole range of IPs to be opened or forwarded.


Finally, I'm curious as to whether the range of these base stations is identical or it varies from one vendor to another. I heard that it is possible to attach antennas to some to increase the range. This appears to require some hacking though and not as a feature of the unit.
