Free access to Uni networks? (was Re: [MLB-WIRELESS] Swinburne's Wireless Network)

[evilbunny]

Hello John,

I'm assuming with the existing VPN network they *might* have some QoS

realistically be in that case to add another VPN group below student,
with next to no rights...

give 1 account for community use with 10 user limit or something...

/2cents
