Abstract
A wireless interface device is adapted to be interfaced with a host computer. Prior to an interface being established, the wireless interface device broadcasts for available hosts, which, upon acknowledgement, appear in a dialog box on the display of the wireless interface device. The user is then able to select an available host from the dialog box.
