Site-wide wireless for VCF East?
I am designing my exhibit for VCF East, and would like to know if we are going to have site-wide public wifi for the event. Whether we do or not will affect what kinds of things I do with my exibit; specifically, if I am going to allow for attendees for remote access to my personal mainframe system, and whether or not I will attempt any cross-site demos of the OfficeVision/VM (PROFS) mail program. Do you think that this will be possible? -- Regards, Dan FitzGerald Classical Computing Laboratory at IBM Poughkeepse http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/DFITZGER Danbury-Area Retrocomputing Enthusiasts (D.A.R.E.)

Dan, After InfoAge and myself getting thoroughly beat up for Wi-Fi issues at a previous VCFe, the decision was made to no longer provide "public" Wi-Fi at InfoAge. InfoAge does provide staff Wi-Fi in the areas that were equipped by the volunteers from CDL, VCF, and the RTM, however it is definitely not site-wide. Martin Flynn
