Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Going Wireless...?

Content Type: text/plain

I am about to enter the world of wireless, HiWi, Dingleberry, whatever
it is called. I need some direction.

I have an HP iPAQ that I used to use at work that connected to an in
house network wirelessly. It also will try to connect to my neighbor's
network, but his is encoded, as was the one at work. I have a few questions.

What do I need to connect to generally available "hot spots" in the
community? Do I need to purchase any subscription, or is connection to
the Internet from these spots generally without charge to me? My cell
phone will connect to the Internet, but I think I am charged by the bit.

I have a small home network running off of a Cisco 4-port router (all
ports in use). What will I need to connect the iPAQ to the Internet
using my own network?
