Somewhere i have read that the term "SS" for these phones have been abused 
by marketing droids who dont know what they say, and is not quite what it 
is on a LAN.

I.E, some wireless phones are actually using frequency-hopping with slow 
hop-intervals, and according to an article one brand stayed on a single 
frequency for MINUTES at a time!. I am sorry that i don't remember where i 
read it....

My point: If you decide to buy one of these, be sure to get permission to 
return it if it doesn't coexist well enough.

Does the 2.4GHZ ISM band have subdivisions especially for SS?
I thought it was "everyone against everyone"
Please comment, anyone in the know..

Good Luck with the e-XP-eriment!
