They don't grab it from his email client or transmission stream. Cheryl D. Wise Certified Professional Web Developer MS-MVP-FrontPage www.wiserways.com mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 713.353.0139 Office -----Original Message----- From: Paul Larue Hi list, I need to setup a wifi hotspot and my boss is requesting a feature that he recently found in a hotel. Basically, he plugs in his card, associates to the WLAN and then... he gets an acknowledgement email !!! How did they do that? I guess he tried checking his mail and they have some app listening on ports 110/25. They grab his email address and then what? What do they do? What next? Indeed this is a nice feature but I have no real clue on setting up that stuff?
