When I moved into my current house there was 1 open access point, which 
I used while my cable connection was being set up. It was my neighbors, 
and he OK'd it after the fact ;) My laptop now finds 10 visible AP's 
which are all encrypted. Dutch ISP's have begun shipping modems with 
encryption enabled and the code on a sticker on the router.

Peter
