[Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk

[Ed Greenberg]

I am doing this with an ancient WAP-11 in Access Point Client Mode. I have 
it connected to a Sipura 2000 via a crossover cable. It's been very 
reliable and clean to talk on.

I have a WET-11 on order. If it doesn't do a quality job, back it goes.
