Re: Short term ISP

Lawrence you can also download an app called MacStumbler (google for it or look in Versiontracker) which tells you signal strengths, beeps when a new signal is found (great for one man wardriving) and tells you which signal is encrypted. I doubt that you would get busted for it any more than yo

Re: Short-term ISP, try access-4-free

You shouldn't need a password if it's a public place. Most times you need a password are your own network sometimes and if you're at an office with a closed wireless. But for a library, you should be able to just tap in... make sure you look for weirdos before you do any parking though. ;-)

Re: Short-term ISP, try access-4-free

You can go to libraries, Starbucks, restaurants, & business. Some have passwords but many don't. Chicago is building WIFI for the whole city & uping the taxes a bit to cover the costs. Jim On Apr 3, 2005, at 10:14 PM, peter webster wrote: You got me: I don't know. I just go to libraries to get b

Get AirPort or Airport Extreme card and have breakfast in Panera stores. All their stores have free WiFi and they are in all major cities. Alternatively you could sign-up for T-Mobile WiFi for 30 USD/month for unlimited access in all Borders Bookstores, Starbucks Coffee shops and few other places.

Lawrence, Check out: www.copper.net or www.fastermac.net I have no affiliation with either. And I agree with you about AOL. The only upside to AOL is the nice (sometimes) cases they send their free offers in. The make great CD/DVD shipping/storage boxes! Good luck

Dear Listers, I am going to be traveling in the USA for a couple months this summer. Could some of you recommend some ISP options which would provide me with at least dial-up access in most major cities? I saw that I can get 45 days of AOL for free but I'm not real excited about loading AOL's s
