Cor,
do you by chance know the power draw of an RG? (I can't seem to remember
offhand, and I'm a bit lazy, hey, it's a holiday

Norm,
How is your load balance?
Just a thought - the OR-500 can run immediately off battery power and it's
draw should
be max 5 Watts on the average. Is this interesting when figuring in the
Solar power
cost and size? Note: OR-500 has AP-500 HW and it can run from power adaptor
as
well as power over ethernet - it's convertor can take between 7 and 60 Volts
in.
Do NOT try this with the RG-1000 as this is designed for power adapter only!
Make sure you ground well, though, to avoid premature loss of the units.
Hope this helps,

Who needs UMTS anyway when you can have ORiNOCO wireless?
