>Seems to me that if this is going to be for a resturant that these people are not going to want to be paying for airtime on all these handhelds the whole time these people are using the devices, cost-wise it probably just isnt practical. Is there some way to do a wireless LAN connection on these iPaq's or other handhelds????

Hi Victor.

Wireless LAN is what I was suggesting. You get 300FT coverage with an unboosted 802.11 wireless access point. Plenty for any conventional app. If the resturant is truly huge, they could have several access point. Access points and wireless PC card nics are cheap.

I'll CC the orginator to ensure he didn't misunderstand me.
