The story I heard was thata Vixie wanted wireless to his room. Now we all know how likely that is to happen in NZ. Geek Conference or no Geek conference =) The other 100 people there had no problem getting email over the wireless that was around. Dean On Mon, 2002-07-15 at 08:23, Joe Abley wrote:

Having heard the subsequent thanks to you for providing 802.11b gear, perhaps I misunderstood the criticism (maybe it was "transit through telecom sucks", or "jetstream is wildly unsuitable for use in a conference full of geeks attached at 11M").
Vixie apparently found it more efficient to travel back to Peter's house on the north shore and get his mail there, for example, than to do so in the hotel.
Anyway, congratulations on getting something off the ground. I wish I had been there :)
