finding a wireless signal but then I built a WokFi antenna. A wifi

collapses down nicely and hasn't failed me to date. YMMV
That sounds interesting. I had a look at the WokFi wikipedia page.
So you have always been able to find an unencrypted signal when you're
traveling? How many times has this worked? If you're on business you
must be staying in hotels in the middle of town right?

I've used the GPRS modem twice during all the trips to Barbados. The
WokFi has worked well at various hotels and an apartment complex along
the island's west coast so none of the use was "in the middle of town"
in the traditional sense.
It's not a panacea, but I can connect to networks that don't even show
up on my Eee's built-in wireless. It's inexpensive to build your own
and a handy tool to have in your arsenal.
