I currently have 9 devices in my house capable of communicating across a network:
Device | Wireless | Wired | Web access |
An Apple MacBook running Mac OS X (which is currently being repaired) | 11b+g | Gigabit | Yes |
A desktop PC running Kubuntu Edgy Eft | 11b+g | Gigabit | Yes |
An old desktop PC running Damn Small Linux | None | 100Mbit/s | Yes |
A Sagem Livebox which acts as an ADSL modem, firewall and router | 11b+g | 100Mbit/s | Yes |
A Sagem IPTV decoder | None | 100Mbit/s | No |
Three Nokia mobile phones (6021 / 3020 / 3021) | GPRS | USB | Yes |
A Sony PEG-SJ20 Clié organiser | Infrared | USB | No |
How many do you have?
Special appeal to those living abroad: please don’t make us salivate too much…

Home 1:
Apple MacMini – 802.11b/g – 10/100MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Netgear DG834G ADSL Router – 802.11b/g – 10/100MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Belkin Wireless Repeater (wireless + lots of concrete = not good) – 802.11b/g – 10/100MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Home 2:
Dell Desktop – 802.11b/g – 1000MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Shuttle SN51G2 – 802.11b/g – 10/100MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Sony Vaio T1XP/L – 802.11b/g – 10/100MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Netgear DG834GT ADSL Router – 802.11b/g – 10/100MBit/s – Web = Yes.
Sky Digital STB – no wireless – Modem – Web = No (walled garden perhaps).
Mobile Devices:
Nokia 770 Internet Tablet – 802.11b/g & 3G/GPRS via bluetooth to phone – Web = Yes.
Nokia 6233 – 3g/gprs – usb – web = yes.
I’m not convinced those living abroad will have devices that will be that much more advanced to what is available in Mauritius. Just more likely to have more of the same.
