Way back when my T41 was new, Matt and others on this list helped
solve my network-dropping problem. Now a friend has a similar
problem, I think the next-door neighbour finally went wireless and
is causing him trouble. I forwarded most of this thread.

However, he has a Dell and I wasn't sure if Access Connections is
intended to work with non-IBM hardware, or if there's an analogous
Dell utility. Can anyone confirm either of those unknowns one way
or the other? It would be good if he can use Access Connections on
the off chance I need to support him (he's very knowledgeable so it
probably isn't an issue).

Thanks!
