Sorry, one other equipment query: does anyone know of an ATA with wireless hardware which can act as a *client* to another wireless network? The Linksys units have an integrated wireless access point, but I want something which will work as a client onto an existing wireless network - so you can install ATAs around a building without additional LAN cabling. An ATA with integrated Homeplug (powerline carrier networking) would be another option, but again I can't find such a thing. Any suggestions? Many thanks, Brian.
This suggestion may be sort of a hodge podge setup, but you could use something like a airport express, which has wireless bridging built in. Connected directly to a ATA....

The cheapest suggestion is to buy a Buffalo WHR-G54S, it is the same as the GPL linksys routers, load the DD-WRT firmware and then you can use it as a 5 port wireless Ethernet bridge, they cost less than USD 50.
