wanna run the cable eh James? Well, linksys has a router that looks from
the interface standpoint just like the wireless things that are available.
In fact, when I bought mine, I had to get an access point and a router that
plugged together because there was not a single unit option. Were I you,
I'd go wireless and skip the cables all together but if you do want to hubb
the computers, linksys has what you need. I may be mistaken but I think it
is more expensive to do it that way than to go wireless these days.

Subject: RE: Jaws and configuring wireless routers.
On the topic of wireless routers, but sidestepping somewhat, do you know if
any routers that will function well with JAWS that aren't particularly
wireless? I'm looking into purchasing a router, but as the computers I'm
connecting are in the same room, I don't need one that's wireless.
