IIRC, you actually only when it's commercial activity and the user is paying for to be able to send or recive data that goes outside the wireless network they are on. Eg,. Paying for internet access over wifi - requires license. Paying for use of a wifi network, which only allows VoIP access to other members on there network - No license needed. -Karl -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
