Have to admit I haven't yet, but I'll take a look.

Out of interest, there is space in the WRAP outdoor case to stack 2 
WRAP boards, and therefore have 4 mini-PCI slots.  That's the 4A2E (4 
antenna, 2 ethernet) version.  Same compact size, and the cost 
diference is the extra antennas, pigtails and board.  What's more, if 
one board dies (not that it is likely) you can still have a 
functional (even if degraded) service.  Redundancy is good for 
backbones...

Appreciate the well wishes, we hope it goes well too. :-)

Cheers,

Paul McGowan
