(According to the noise/signal/quality meters) Searching for the model # for my phone actually found this PPT presentation: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/pub/2001/Jan01/01084r0P802-15_TG2-IEEE-802.11b-and-Bluetooth-Coexistence-Testing-Results.ppt Yes, OpenOffice can read this =) Interesting stuff. > > -- > Chris Elmquist mailto:chrise at pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~chrise -- Matthew S.
