From a BT sales booklet

Ah, a wireless network adaptor card: "No need to open your computer - simply plug into a PCI port."

It'd be interesting to see the PCs BT use...

You would not believe. I work at Manpower and BT are our biggest customer. Despite having over 40 sites under our control across the UK, they only got DSL lines installed in January, which meant that those sites were using DIAL-UP for more than 2 years. I don't even want to ask about the computers... I get phone calls from people all the time saying that they can't access online reports and can I do it for them? Unfortunately, it is my job, although I'd rather they just get the equipment they need from BT to do it themselves.

ones with motherboards mounted outside the box? the PC equivalent to the Lloyds Building?

there is the PCI Express port which is compatible with (and often mistaken for) ExpressCard/34.

Definitely a PCI card: they've a helpful picture.

Has to be aimed at Management then where one has someone to install it for you...

That doesn't surprise me at all. Good old BT.

& here I was hoping for "Cardbus slot" or "USB port".

Sounds like a fun PC, that. Not.

They do sell a USB dongle version, "No need to open your computer - simply plug into a USB port."

USB, PCI, what's the difference? :)

All becomes clear!

I'm all in favour of recycling, but there *are* limits and copy - blurb - is one of them...
