Re: are there any decent infrared transceivers still around?

I'm helping set up some systems in a large open office
where there's _lots_ of RF in the area, messing up 802.11.

Running ethernet cable to each desk is pretty painful.

Way, way, back there were infrared transceivers you could
hook up for data transmission. True, they were quite slow
by today's standards...

Any suggestions for something avaiable today? Speed isn't
too critical as these are mostly work stations with text
material back and forth.

Thanks.

does each puter have power? i have my router set up to connect my router to the powerline thing, and then wherever i have the puter and ac i also have a network connection.
true, it will slow down with multiple things, but i'm guessing that even slowed down it will be faster than ir

at any rate, no idea if you looked at considered it, but heres a link for you for the netgear home stuff
