[Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk

[beonice]

Mike,

I'm using Asterisk over a wireless LAN (Netgear
something or the other). I use my desktop as the
server and a laptop for remote administration and
testing. So far, I haven't had any major problems that
I would attribute to the wireless connectivity.

Cheers,
BeOnIce
