<P><FONT size=2>Hey guys,<BR><BR>A couple of questions:<BR><BR>What's the best
way to get (legal) internet access around town?<BR><BR>* Optus Mobile Connect
prices seem exorbitant at $10 an hour.<BR><BR>* I haven't been able to find much
current info on the Telstra /<BR>McDonalds wifi network<BR><BR>* I'm not sure
what other options there are round.<BR><BR>How do they handle authentication at
these places? AFAICT the Optus<BR>stuff seems to be by a web proxy, which should
be pretty Linuxable. But<BR>anyone else have experience using these services
with
Linux?<BR><BR>Mike<BR>--<BR>__________________________________________________________________________<BR>Mike
