Re: internet connectivity from Comcast

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

comcast owns the box and connectivity requires a network name and 
password to be in a computer's wifi settings before you can connect. 
Comcast puts two possible connections on each box.  One of them is for 
the account holder and the other connection is for public use if comcast 
users have an email address and a different password to log into their 
comcast accounts.
