My Libby card will usually find the access point transmission and automatically be configured by Win2K to then connect the laptop to the internet. There are some broadcast standards that aren't automatically configured but there is usually a notice of what the standard is in any particular facility that I can manually configure to for connection. Pretty slick all in all! The City of Long Beach, CA just this week has wirelessed their downtown core area for just such access. One can sit in a cafe, hotel room, car, meeting room or wherever and connect to the internet - and be able to move around the entire area without losing the connection. They will soon extend this service outside of the downtown area to the rest of Long Beach - and it's all at no cost to the user!
