(sigh) Randy has the best of intentions. But I'm tired of the old saw that security adds annoyance. I long ago gave up on a WG at the IETF when the members wanted to add security, but with *NO* configuration. Sorry, any security requires a *SECRET*. I will agree that the security in WEP is almost useless, and have personally campaigned to change it for years. But, it is still the only Access Control widely available. So, it should be used, in addition to the better methods. -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
