In this part . . .
I
cover the meat and potatoes of Wi-Fi -- connecting to
the Internet at a Wi-Fi hotspot. Here's where you find
out about the directories and devices you can employ to
help you find a hotspot, locate the best signal at that
hotspot, and make your connection to the Internet. Okay,
none of this is all that complex or complicated -- but
(as my sock-puppet savants have so often expressed) com-
plications can arise. So, in Chapter 6, you find out how to
troubleshoot some of the problems you can encounter
when connecting at a hotspot. In addition, because send-
ing e-mail from hotspots can sometimes be a source of frus-
tration, I describe some means and methods of e-mailing
from hotspots that make it at least as reliable as the Pony
Express (and a lot more secure).
