regarding portability, i agree. I am currently looking for ways to get a wireless bridge to run off a battery. (if anyone knows how, or of a bridge that does, let me know pls?) And of course replacement of the 2-minute battery is a must, along with the CMOS battery. I am dreading taking it apart, I have to find a flippin hex screwdriver somewhere. another plus to that tho, I also have a modem from a 165 around here somewhere, so while its open i might as well slip that in there.
