Anyone else get this?
And what is this "we have been advised" thing? Are they actually *gasp* checking up on nodes now? They know how to do that? Who knew?!?!?
;)
Seriously though, any options here? I don't want to lose my RR, no time to switch over to DSL or whatnot. It basically looks like I'll have to cave and become a closed node.
Did the group make any progress on the so-called "secret" WEP key DB?
Ideas? Options? Bueller?
Thanks,
RMT.

Dear Mr. Tait:
By letter dated June 27th, you were advised that your Road Runner account was transmitting the Road Runner service over a wireless network so that anyone with a wireless network card could tap into our service.� We requested written assurance that your account would no longer be utilized in this manner, and advised you that continued unauthorized use would result in suspension of your account.
Upon further review, we have been advised that despite a note on your nycwireless.com web page that your node has "temporarily gone private," your listed access point information remains valid, and there are, in fact, no access restrictions in place.
In light of the above, we are writing to advise you that in order to continue using the Road Runner service, we require that you: (1) remove all information listed on the nycwireless.com website in regard to accessing your Road Runner account; and, (2) configure your network security to limit access only to permanent residents of your household.
If you have not complied with the terms of this by Friday, August 2, 2002, we will suspend your account and we may pursue our legal remedies.
Please contact Internet Security directly at either (718) 670-6621 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have any questions.

Gregory Powell
