   Hi Michael - that brings up a question. The hospital where I work at   
   maintains a wireless network, a "guest" account so that patients can log   
   into it from their rooms with a laptop. No password/keys are needed.   
      
   How do they secure that? There is a disclaimer at the first logon, saying   
   that basically everything that happens is the users responsibility. Guess   
   that covers it, huh? :)   
      
   But...going by what you and Edward have said, I should be able to use the   
   "B" device, via an EtherNEC, with my STacy, and logon to that guest   
   account. I've done it with my Linux laptop - no problems.   
      
   Thanks.
