I'm on this "Must have every network tool there is" kick, and was wondering if there's a bluetooth or SD option where you could connect your PDA to a wired network via a CAT5 jack.

Thanks for your help!

You can get a bluetooth access point.

Installation is straight forward: plug the Belkin into your wired network using a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable. If you're using DHCP, the unit should pick up an IP address and you probably won't have to do anything else!

Is the range really 100m on those things? If so, I would be pretty good for PPCs with b/i BT but not WiFi. Expensive though.
