A. If you're in Ra'anana you can drop by my company for 5 minutes, I'll let you use my
AP for the test.
B. The 'hijacking' thingie is done using port redirection, and it works with EVERY
browser. The web server might not serve Mozilla-compatible pages, but I never
encountered one that did not, and I've been places. My Mozilla works fine.
C. Get an iPASS account, and install their dialer (if it works with WINE). There are
some access points that work only with iPASS, and I didn't see any charge in my iPASS
account for them (Narita airport, Japan is one example). Getting an iPass account is
easy and free (at least in Barak, where I tried).
