Wireless devices are back-wards compatible, whether it be like the new internal HP wireless G cards, or an external B/G/pre-N card that you have installed in PCMCIA slots. Yes, you may have to configure setting with your router, or with the computer BIOS to have everything working flawlessly (as I to know there are "bumps" along the way). But everything flows in a wireless world. With networking and emerging technologies classes under ones belt you find ways to get by obstacles. I currently manage 3 wireless networks, and one hardwired network. I run internal b and g devices, and external b, g, and pre-n devices on Cable, DSL, and dial-up from Netgear to Linksys and beyond.

As for your communication dilemma, Ben - definitely start with your cable company. Check around with more than one office in your area, and you might have to contact several people in the process to make the correct contact. If cable is available to at least the main road, you may have to pay the price, but there is no reason you cannot be "hooked up". I have also dealt with situations where cable was not available, and you can contact neighbors and petition to have it run at the company's cost.

Best Wishes.
