Most excellent! Is warmunching.com available?


Ironic note about the value of having a connection at this particular
location: The first WLAN I saw from the parking lot was a tmobile AP from
the Starbucks across the lot!

I love it.


WayPort FAQ:

1)  Do not send any sensitive information including passwords, credit card
or other sensitive information using a wireless connection.

No mention of pop3 passwords then or SMTP-AUTH or SSL email. Or checking for SSL on commerce sites. Shame.


Then I looked at this.
Configuring Your Email Program

Again, no security on pop3 passwords and no authentication on smtp.

This is not good. Especially from a company that is focussed on roaming, mobile, guest use of the net.
