Damn. One of the things that I noticed with the iPaq is that on my drive to work and back, there were about 30 different wireless networks. I decided to stop in the Jameson Inn parking lot just to play around. Guess I will have to watch it. I never was able to get a connection, but I suppose that if I had, it might prove to be a problem.
