Hi, Listers!
After reading all those "theft of service" dire warnings, unenforsable
(sp.?) in my view, and considering that I live in Mexico, just across
the border from Texas, I went to see the top engineer in my Cable
Company Internet Division. The official line:
I can have 5 computers connected via the Ethernet ports, and up to 24
via Wireless.
So to me closing or opening my Wi-Fi transmiter (sp?.) is a moot point.
After 2 years of having it open, I decided to close it (only registered
Wi-Fi cards can have access) because I began to worry if someone could
be using it to do some nefarious thing, so now, sadly, my network is closed.
I liked the idea of givinf free access to anyone living in the range of
my signal, or parking near my apartment. I even met some very nice
medicine students that way. 2 of them have their cards registered, and
can come anytime near my apartment to check their mail or work on their
projects.
I do miss those simpler times when I knew almost all the people in my
city that had an Internet connection.
Best regards from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico!
