Free. I went there today (4/8/2002) and the node was not working. The guy said, "Oh yeah. Sorry, but it's not been working for some time. Don't know what's wrong." Interestingly, the node was named "WayPort_Access". This worries me because WayPort is the name of a company that provides fee-based internet access to hotel rooms at exhorbitant rates. |

FREE!. Bring your notebook and network card. Has anyone successfully used linux here? I've tried without success. Please post your iwconfig if you have this working. -- I got it working ... see LinuxFlightPath for iwconfig --UPDATE!!! I was never able to get Flightpath working using RedHat 7.2. I updated just about everything (dhcpcd, kernel-pcmcia_cs, and on and on and on). Finaly today I compiled a new kernel (2.4.18 vanilla) and it worked like a charm. see LinuxFlightPath for my .config. I went there today (4/8/2002) and it was up and down the whole time I was there. It changed state three times in an hour. This is my first time there so I hope it's not always like this. |

Wired Ethernet LAN (indoors and out) - $5/first hour or something, also new "surfer tables." |

Several around Austin. |
iMacs with wireless internet access. May allow public machines to connect. Rumor is they used to allow any machine to get an address with dhcp but now they filter by mac address. |

Wireless service offered by Mobilestar. Not free in any sense of the word. They have monthly plans for both national and local service. I'm on the pay as you go plan which is about $20 for 120 minutes. If used wisely it can go a long way. Great throughput and it works great with linux. |
