puter equipped with a Personal Computer Memory Card InternationalAsso-

Card configuration utility is a user-friendly application that helps you

quickly setup multiple roaming nodes using theASUS SpaceLink PC Card.

tivity to both corporate and home Intranets.They add a new level of conve-

nience for LAN users. PC users stay connected to the network anywhere

plished through the use of a device known as the Access Point (AP). By

making use of AP in the office, you can easily establish mobile network

connections to the enterprise Intranet or Internet. Moreover, you can bring

multaneously with no excessive, tedious ties! Connected anywhere, at any
