That is, the new cell would start picking up the transmission from the old cell before the switch was actually made. That would seem to alleviate any severe switching glitches. Low data rate modems might even be able to handle that. Anyone out there know if this is so? "It ain't necessarily so" ken bass linus!faron!kbb
