So my next question is that I know of a largeish organization that is having an event in Loring Park at the end of the summer, and they were planning to set up thier own wireless network for a little internet cafe kind of thing, and I told them I knew of a network that already existed and that they might be able to use it, as they are a non profit group and they do not have a lot of money. Would there be any issues with them using this network? Is there a member of the group that has experience with the TCWUG network that I could talk to about specifics? Thanks all, I appreciate it. -Erik > We tested it at the last TCWUG meeting, and the connection was great near > the gardens in the center of the park.
