What's illegal about it ? How about scanning and connecting and using an open access point.
Jack - let me ask you a very simple question. If you left your front door open, and I just happened to be walking by and noticed your wife, would it be ok if I came in and umm "connected" so to speak with her and used her for a bit ? Just because an access point is "open" and non-secure, does not mean you have permission. Just like if you left your door open to your house, does not mean I have permission to come in and use your wife..... Sorry for the analogy, but it's the only one I can come up with that makes sense to me... You need to remember, Im just one of those dumb Cajun boys.

Your comments about "highly illegal" just went STRAIGHT over my head. What's illegal about Brian's emergency communications operation? Hams have been providing emergency communications services since (literally) the sinking of the Titanic. jack JohnnyO wrote: > Brian - Ham Operator or not - do you realize that what you're planning > on doing is HIGHLY illegal and has several people over the past 2 yrs in > Federal Prison as we speak ? > > Why don't ya'll get a VSAT system that works well for VOIP ?
