Toronto / Wireless hotspots...

Interesting. I knew there had to be some company jumping on wifi in the downtown core, and here they are. I looked over the site and couldn\'t find any pricing information however. Didn\'t want to create an account just to get this information. Thanks for the link though!

The problem I had been having with the screen flickering, when my WCF12 was in use, seems to have corrected itself. My Z sat unused on a shelf (plugged in of course) for almost 3 weeks... Then when I got back on it and tried the Wifi, no flicker!
tunemx, did u end up buying a wifi card yet?

I don\'t think Union has any wireless access points.

Toronto / Union Station Encounter!
« on: July 28, 2003, 07:04:22 am »
I was at Union station, on platform 3B bound for Pickering this past Saturday. As I was walking down the platform I saw someone on a PDA. Wasn\'t I surprised when I saw it was a 5500/5600, with a WCF12 card.
Just curious if this was any of the other members of this forum?
I should have stopped and said hello...
Maybe next time.

My WCF12 works fine with OZ 3.2, but I cannot say it functions perfectly. I occassionally experience a strange screen flickering when the card is active. It almost seems like the screen is getting some interference from something. Or perhaps when the WCF is transmitting, the power draw jumps a bit, dropping the levels provided to the screen.
Other than this behaviour, which I have never heard of from other 5500 + WCF12 owners, the card is great. Perhaps something in my Z got damaged when I dropped it onto the sidewalk a few months back.

This is the retailer I ordered my Linksys WCF-12 from. They shipped very quickly, and they seem to have a large amount of PDA stuff in stock. Not exactly the greatest prices though, but it beats paying duties and what not from US retailer shipments.

Anyone know where there are some wireless spots in the city?
I know that in the States, T-Mobile has deals with several large chains offering (for a fee) wifi access. Sharp had a deal with them to give Zaurus owners 300 free minutes of the service. I checked their website and couldn\'t find mention of anything in Canada however.
In the Star this morning there was an article about wifi trials starting soon
on GO Trains. This is a neat idea. The article also mentioned that Union Station has a Bell sponsered wireless point.
It sure would be cool if TTC went wireless.

I did some extensive searching in the downtown area looking for a place that sells Sharp products with no luck. I finally ordered mine from a guy in the USA. Would have gone with tigerdirect.ca if I had known how much the taxes/duties would be! I got nailed like an extra $55 on delivery!
I have a Linksys WCF12 that I ordered from an online retailer based in Markham. When I asked around the shops (downtown) about CF wifi cards, I either got looked at like I had a third eye, or told flat out they didn\'t exist.
Oh well. I did find a great buy on an SMC wifi router that made up for the previous hassles.
Do any of you belong to other Toronto computer oriented user groups? I was active in GTABUG for awhile last year, but got busy with school and that trailed off....
