Hey I was woundering if anyone knows if there is gunna be free wi-fi access @ the ManchVegas regional.

If not, I will try to drive around the area and see if I can pick-up a open 802.11b connect.

I have a good friend who's dad is the network admin at a local bizz, I can see if he can set-up something.

Even if it is with Coffee Can Antennas :D

Matt,

I would be interested in trying to set something up....though I am not sure how to get a net into the joint.

I suppose we could serve it with a slow dial-up line....but that seems silly.

I would be willing to work with people and help to try to possibly get some equiptment there (no promises) if we can figure out how to get a net connection into the building. (perhaps this can be something our team works with your on?)
