[MLB-WIRELESS] Getting net access around town - Optus Mobile Connect /
MacDonalds / Other options...<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<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
