Hi,

I think the extra unsecured user would be able to fix the problem I suppose.

I must confess that I didn't do an effort to understand the rest of the
page. Maybe some sort of automated login would be possible using the whispr
protocol ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WISPr ) whenever Tor can't connect
to the network itself.

Should you need beta testers I'll happily volunteer. I have access to the
FON network from home and I can test on KPN hotspots here in the Netherlands
for free too.

Regards,

San Bergmans
