[*] free FON routers

[Sean Walberg]

Just to follow up on myself, I'm connected in just fine on my WinXP laptop
to the private SSID.  Must be a Win2K thing, though I see some options I can
play with on the router.

I had kinda hoped it would bridge the private network and route the public
network, but it appears they're both routed.  Now I'm going through 2 levels
of NAT to get to the Internet and have to use the FON box for DNS.
