Perry,

You said you wanted to disconnect your land line so I am guessing that you have a wireless ISP provider near you. We don't have any right here as I guess the distances are to far and the mountains block the signals. They had one in Chico for a while but the people that I know who were on it switched back as you had to live within four blocks of one of their repeaters. I have heard of some of them that are good for up to 6 miles I believe it is. The only wireless I have is my laptop and I use the Linksys router also. But my old DSL Modem actually has the wireless built into it and does both the Ethernet and wireless. The only complaints that I have heard from people who have the long range wireless is that bad weather sometimes knocks them off line, but that is like anything and will happen once in a while. Same with my satellite TV. Going completely wireless will certainly get rid of the nest of cables you probably have behind the desks if you are anything like me. I even went to a wireless keyboard to get rid on a couple of cables.

Ron
