Be careful about those access points - FON is a business and has a
contract that you must agree to when you sign up to get one of their
"free" access points.  Specifically, they want you to share and sometimes
re-sell your internet access.  Not only is setting up the free Fonera with
DD-WRT against the terms, but sharing/re-selling your internet access is
also against the terms of service for both Charter and AT&T's consumer
internet plans.  Some ISPs are even blocking access to those using
Foneras, but I haven't heard of this in St. Louis yet.
