But from the description it is based one a third-party server, likely residing somewhere else, which stores all my passwords. Not something I would think secure. Also, I don't understand how that service works yet. if I am in captive mode, how can a remote web-server provide login services? >From the FAQ it seems that the networks need to support devicescape (apparently as an alternate authentication) as your credentials are not stored on your device but their server. I don't see any local services on their list yet, though presumably one could use Starhub's Wireless Broadband as it allows Boingo logins, but then one would need a Boingo account and actually pay.. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
