...heart of your network will be a wireless access point and cable/DSL router, preferably one device that does both. These two-in-one units, sometimes called wireless gateways, start at $150 and often throw in a few Ethernet ports too, so you can connect a printer or desktop PC using a standard Ethernet cable. I had a smooth experience with the Linksys Etherfast Wireless AP+Cable/DSL Router ($169). Similar products are made by D-link, Intel, NetGear, Siemens, SMC and 2Wire...
...connect a notebook PC, you'll need a wireless PC card, a slim metal plate that slides into the laptop's PCMCIA slot and has a small antenna sticking out from the end (also $50 and up). To connect a Mac desktop or notebook, get an Apple Airport card ($99). If you're buying a new notebook, most major PC manufacturers will sell you one with Wi-Fi capabilities built...
...similar battle between the entrenched foes is occurring in mid-Cambridge.

Before Sept. 11, there was no comparable formal organization for working-level contact among the domestic agencies of government--or between them and the national security agencies. While there appear to have been a few dots to connect, there was no effective mechanism for those connecting lines to cross domestic and national security boundaries...
Politicians and the media are talking about a failure to connect the dots, and the FBI and CIA can do more to share information with each other and local police. (Since 9/11, the bureau has been sharing raw reports just so it is not accused of holding anything back.) But I have not seen any pre-9/11 dots that could have been connected, at least with the FBI operating under current laws and guidelines. If we want to throw away most of the requirements for due process, then there is a lot more the FBI and police could...
