 Wireless security can mostly be taken care of with the built in
 protection. A simple pass word or pass phrase in the builtin
 security system. It all comes up in the wireless router setup.
 Ok, simple as something like 20 letters can get. Problem is to
 get a driver that handles it. With win 98 you can't do
 somethings you can with XP. Don't know if any are available for
 DOS.
