I also have a 713P, and submitted my rebate. It's a great router, but it
really wans to be the network firewall, which caused me some
consternation when I set it up.

I'm thinking about grabbing a cheap pass-through WAP before the meeting
tonight. We certainly don't need firewalling, or a print server, or,
well, really a WAP at all for meetings. It's nice to have, though, and
really useful at installfests.

before we collect money for a WAP, we really should build up the pizza
fund, and get disks for the FTP server. My initial suggestion was
off-the-cuff, and as *MANY* have pointed out, there are bigger and
better things y'alls donatations can go to. We can live with "if I
remember to bring mine" for a while yet, I'm sure.

And prices keep going down...
