Just a small question.

If i was to get an AP and connect the Iburst directly to the AP and let it automatically connect. with wireless laptops around the property.

Would this scenario work?

Can the Iburst connect without having to dial up to it?
can it plug directly into the Wireless AP and work for the wireless ppl?

Yes and Yes.
I run a Wireless VPN Router/AP directly connected to the iBurst modem, sharing the connection to all the machines in the house wirelessly.

Keep in mind though, that normal AP's can't setup the connection, you'll have to look at some sort of wireless router, like the Linksys WRT54G or Gigabyte BR404W

Thanks for the help

is there any place where i can get my hands on a manual of how to set one up? (the Iburst setup)

never done one before!

Eventhough it should be easy to do i like to be confident in what i do!

Oh, and why I mentioned the BR404W: The Router itself can setup a VPN connection, enabling ALL devices connected to it via WiFi or cable to run over the VPN, ie no seperate VPN connections per machine
