Ike has a great WiFi tutorial at http://wifi.aximsite.com/wifi-faq.html

He explains that "Internet" is for direct connections such as dial-up while "Work" is for connecting through an AP or network.
"Work would more properly be called network but relates back a few years when many people had networks in their work place, but only a dialup connection at home."

I just switched from 2002 to 2003 (eBay). Not a big difference but a number of small improvements.

I thought PocketWiNc was a 30 day trial. Is there a free version? Where?
