We are setting up a tiered system.  Right now, we have just 2 tiers -- every 
day users (registered) and unsponsored guests.  Anyone who uses the guest 
network shares a whopping 1Mbs Internet connection and has a limited set of 
applications that can be used (web/ssl, microsoft/apple patching, imap/pop, 
dns, dhcp, vpn).  If they need more access, they need to request it until we 
get our "sponsored guest" tier in place.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Visitor access

We are having a increasing number of parents and prospective students who are 
visiting to tour the campus requesting access to our wireless network.   I was 
wondering what other schools are doing to accommodate these requests.


Thank you
