I was able to try out the wavelan card on a co-worker's Powerbook.  It rocks.  
Now I have two reasons to upgrade to -current.  The other is USB Visor cradle 
support.

Peter Seebach suggested that my Metricom Ricochet's performace might be 
improved by turning off RFC 1323 support.  I used sysctl to turn it off and 
noticed little or no improvement between home and work, about 9 hops.

Miles Nordin wrote privately to say that he'd been able to use his Ricochet 
modem for telnet even though the company didn't advise it.  He said that the 
next generation Ricochet, due this summer in 11 cities IIRC, is supposed to be 
better for telnet.

Thanks to all who participated.
