As it turns out, I managed to get roaming set up between the two
Airports (by way of a snaky cat V cable that runs under the house from
the top NW corner, where my office is, to the ground floor SE corner)
using channel 1 on the first and 11 on the second, and discovered that
one of the phones is just a 900MHz. And I can't seem to figure out what
channel the 2.4GHz is set to. It just scans and finds itself a best
channel or something, I'm not sure. But I don't recall having any
problems with the phone and the single Airport, in the three years I've
been using them together.
