I have to laugh at that one -- I put in a wireless here and found all sorts
of WAP's in my neighborhood. In my bedroom I can hook up to someone's
Linksys on Comcast. In my living room I can get two neighbor's
signals. At my father-in-law's (Oak Grove) I get a HUGE signal but it's
locked down. It's locked down to the point the SSID randomizes
even. (???) I wish I would have known about all these hotspots before
when my DSL was down -- I would have given the proverbial you know what for
access then. At least now with my laptop I can walk around and work on
projects while between eating/sleeping/getting ready for work . . . that
sort of thing.
