<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know if it'll work on a pda but this
program is very helpful. I use it quite a bit. Won't show non wifi
systems, but it sounds like that's all you need it to do. Best one out
there. Most wireless ISPs I know use it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Ham-80211] Which PDA to buy as
a WiFi Finder?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>From Don Hamrick/KI5SS,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ok! I am a newbie with PDAs. Never owned one and didn't know much
about them. Now I am doing a fast study on PDAs to find out which PDA is
best to use as a WiFi Finder as its primary use and for other
applications such as Amateur Radio as cascading into its secondary use, if
feasible. My marketing research revealed the following products that fits the
bill for what am looking for. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am a merchant seaman. I travel constantly. I want to use a PDA as a
WiFi Finder so that I don't have to pull out my laptop from its wheeled-bag
every time just to check for WiFi availability. It is easier to use a PDA for
this purpose. </DIV>

<DIV>I downloaded Winc and installed it. Instantly it became my default WiFi
Connect Utility over Windows barebones utility in the System Tray. I was
impressed with its intuitiveness and ease of use.</DIV>

<DIV>Looking for a PDA ($300 TO $600 price range) with 802.11g capability so
that I do not have to buy an SDIO card listed above since the majority of PDAs
have 802.11b.</DIV>
