What Kirk adivses is true, and you certainly even do all of this wireless
if you wish for more cost, of course. And, you can even get an access
point/router that provides both wired and wireless capibility--I just got
one of these manufactured by SMC for $200.
One problem to know about is the software involved in configuring the
device. While I find I can set parameters on my SMC with lynx, I can't do
everything I need to do with Lynx. I couldn't even do it myself using IE
under Windows. I had to get sighted assistance. Fortunately, once set
correctly, it's not something that requires attention.
