Well, War postered

Hope passing canal boats don't use up my 1gig NTL limit!

Jack,

That isn't really in the spirit of warchalking is it ? I thought the game was that someone else chalks you and you have to keep rubbing out the chalk.

Well that seem to be the game around where my HQ is

Anyway, I would hate that. Go on a canal holiday for a week and then come across Jacks house. You could check your email, you could download the weather forecast. But no, you couldn't because you haven't taken your laptop because there are no phone lines on the canal (and the missus wouldn't let you anyway)

Jack, maybe you should put a PC out on the canal bank in a little shed and charge £5 an hour for surfing.

Cheers

Ian

Cool

You mean its WEP enabled & you're just hiding behind the net curtains looking for frustrated lappy users o/side your house

Now that would be a laugh!

No WEP it realy is open. There's even a shared directory on one of my machines that passing strangers can use for file storage. "I didn't download that file, honest officer!"

Talking

Imagine if someone who ran a couple of boatyards and knew countless people on boats on the Grand Union was reading this....

I'll pass the word around, you'd be amazed at how quickly the Towpath Telegraph works

Go for it Sal. It'd be funny to hear from someone who managed a broadband connection on their narrowboat

Just don't tell NTL
