But with wireless LAN _all_ machines will be
sharing the 11 meg from the AP. Unlike a wired networked with a

CAT5?
I have ripped most of my music collection and play
them
all over the house using my network. I used to play them using a
100Mb/sec network but since one of my cards went belly up, I've had to
install a 10Mb/sec card on the server. This means that I am now
listening to MP3s over a 10Mb/sec connection and have had not one
problem -
to highlight the point - the server is also sharing its internet
connection
at the same time as serving MP3s and still no problem.
So if Tim
were to use his wireless network to listen to remote MP3s, I can't see
there being a problem from my own experience of doing
this.

Tim,
The only _current_ application that comes to mind
is
high-bandwidth networking.
I've ripped some of my DVDs onto hard
disk for ease of replay. I can play them back on their "own" PC, or over
a
100Mb/sec network, but over a 10Mb/sec - no chance.
To be fair, I
_don't_ play them back over the network anymore - since a KAT5 receiver
is
a more discrete box to have in the bedroom than a spare PC :-)
In
fact, the more I think about it, the more I want lots more KAT5 pairs,
or
maybe I'll just wait for the switch ;-) Mark Harrison Head of
