Date: 1/3/2002 @ 6:30pmBR Report from MichaelCodantiBR Signal: Pretty darn goodBR Coverage: Pretty much everywhere (including Starbucks)BR Test Equipment: old Toshiba laptop with a Toshiba WiFi card (Lucent) w/internal antennaBR Speed: ExcellentBR BR Date: 1/4/2002 @ 6:57pmBR Report from AndrewWoods: I'm currently chilling in the Starbucks in the square, getting a good signal, around 22db SNR. i'm using an unmodified lucent silver card. it covers most of the square very well. it's 6:57pm at the moment. it dies inside powell's around 4 steps past the door, which is to be expected, as it is sunken in brick. haven't gotten any questions yet, but a lot of weird looks. thanks a lot, guys! i will be spending a lot of time downtown, now. haha. (note: i'm using win2k, and mozilla (0.9.7) wouldn't pull up the nocatauth page, but IE 5.00.2920 pulled it up no problemo. very cool.) Update 01/12/02: I'm currently updating my debian installation to unstable, again from the Starbucks (it's cold outside). I'm getting around 85-90kBps. I had no trouble getting connected. The only difficulty I've had so far is a more general linux problem; for some reason, it doesn't like to use the DNS address provided by DHCP, unless the DNS server's ip is globally resolvable, i.e. not the gateway. So, if you're having connection problems in linux, but you can ping internet IPs, try adding a known nameserver IP to resolv.conf.BR BR Date: 1/17/2002 @ 2:26pmBR Report from DonPark: yes! Im writing this from pioner courthouse square. im using my thinkpad with linux and an orinoco bronze card (old firmware). i inserted the card, ran 'pump' to get an address and ran 'links yahoo.com'. the portal caught it and i hit submit. then it sent me on to yahoo - although yahoo complained about a weird URL. i think nocat may be mungeing the URL slightly. Im just about out of batt. power.BR BR Date: 1/17/2002 @ 4:26pmBR Report from PeterBakke: hello, this is being mailed from the p.c. square starbucks, and i happen to be running macos x. it appears to be working flawlessly ... airport reports a nearly full strength signal, and authnocat caught my web browser on the first attempt. this system is a dual-usb ibook, with a new airport card, and macos x 10.1BR BR Date: 1/17/2002 @ 4:52pmBR Report from GaryWeaverLi: Hope I am sending this report correctly. I tried last night and had only DHCP and DNS but no traffic. Adam made the update and like everyone else -- now everything ROCKS!! It's sooo fast. One internet throughput test reported 763Kb!! Wow. Of course the second test came back at 1856Kb!!! I love cache... Great job guys.BR BR
