I'd recommend scraping up the additional $55, save yourself the time, effort, and headaches, and buy a REAL adapter from www.1800adapters.com. Just my $.02. --Andrew _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
