I think that makes us more BBQ geeks than wireless geeks. And BBQ is good no matter what.

I'd say when most people say that a particular style is best that simply means it is "their" favorite. IMHO that is!

Other than the likes of the AT&T outsourced model, has anyone ever gone the path of "selling" an SSID for one of your own wireless networks? Something like "WirelessByBubba'sBarbeque" kinda thing?

Barbeque...)   Thanks- Lee Badman ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.   -- ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. -- Heath Barnhart, CCNA Network Administrator Information Systems Services Washburn University Topeka, KS ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
