Thanks for your reply.........

1. I cannot afford to lose my connection to Internet from 07;00 hrs to
21:00 hrs weekdays.so all experimenting has to be done outside these
hours and connection MUST be up and running 07:00 next
morning.......this is why I want to keep USB Green Frog happy where it
is !! 

2. I have already paid for Mac wireless card.......router....network
cards  cables... new video card..........money is becoming tight !!
