[SAGE] Apple Airport base station admin SW for Wintel



Found this while I was nosing around in the Apple database:

     http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120093

If you haven't seen one of these little things, a brief list
of features follows:

   * NAT router (optional can also serve as a simple bridge)
   * DHCP server (optional)
   * PPP dialup capable
   * Ethernet LAN connectivity
   * NAT routes and DHCP's wired IP devices as well as
     wireless
   * supports static NAT addresses (wired as well as
     wireless)
   * allows port mapping
   * now has an "inside" and "outside" ethernet port
   * will bridge EtherTalk
   * Recursive DNS forwarder
   * 128 WEP (for what it's worth)
   * works with DSSS 802.11b cards from other vendors

In short, it's not a perfect solution, but something to
consider.  Now, with administration SW available for Windows
systems, you don't necessarily have to have a Mac to
configure them....
