Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1998 13:02:46 -0700 Organization: All USENET -- http://www.Supernews.com Lines: 42 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: 29016@157.22.203.112 X-Newsreader: Anawave Gravity v1.10 Xref: clanworld.com alt.games.quake:27839 Hi -- I'm wondering if I can ask this group a few questions. They're not about Quake, but I know that Quake works (can work?) on a network, and I've got a couple of wireless network questions I'd like to run by you. Please let me know if you feel this is inappropriate - but I figured that gamers are generally quite computer savvy, and so this might be the right place to go. Please copy me on reply - sroth@marin dot USWeb dot com - and thanks, in advance, for your help! Regards, Susan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1)Wireless networks provide the benefits of easier installation and reconfiguration, greater mobility and no additional wires. Would you recommend the benefits of this type of network if it had multimedia capabilities? (i.e. greater bandwidth, ability to play audio and video etc…) Yes ____ No ____ 2)If yes, how much of a premium over lower bandwidth wireless networks would you be willing to pay? 25 - 50% (60 - $125)___ 50 - 75% ($125 - $200)___ 75 - 100% ($200+)___ If no, please explain why: 3)Are there any additional devices you would be interested in linking to your future network (e.g. an alarm system, lighting, TV)? How valuable would this be to you? Any additional comments?
