That's ridiculous. Not only am I sitting in a hotel room at a client's site
that for sure has a SPI FW solution for the hotel's wireless network using
Vista on the laptop, but I have also taken the laptop to the client's site
and connected the machine to the LAN and there is FW there too that's using
SPI. In either case, I have had no problems connecting to any one of them
with them both using SPI.
