----- Original Message ----- From: "Herbert Graf" | I don't know of a universal database for this sort of thing but I can | answer the second part. DHCP will be almost enough for MOST hotspots, you | would have to set the SSID. Some of the pay services may use encryption | which means you'd also have to enable encryption and enter the encryption | key. TTYL I assume the "war-driving" databases don't cover WiFi? They only contain wireless network nodes, right? If not, they'd be a great source, since they're available for almost everywhere. I certainly don't advocate war-driving, but as long as the databases are there, why not use them legally? (Again, assuming they include WiFi nodes) - Robert -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
