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.
