It is now possible to connect to the 'Tarn Court' broadband internet service by means of a wireless connection.

A 'BT Hub' wireless modem / router has been installed by Mel Ashton.

The range is likely to be very short - say to close neighbours - and every pc to be connected will require wireless interface hardware and software.

Some modern computers have this facility 'built in' (integrated), others will require a plug-in adapter:
Laptop computers often have a 'slot' for a 'plug-in' card;
Others will require an adapter - usually to a USB port connection.

For an email address, the maximum number of connections may be limited to about 8, each will be given an email address and security password, on a 'first come, first served' basis.  The password can then be changed by the user.  Note that this email facility is available for use ANYWHERE an internet connection is available:
WIFI or 'normal' connection, in the UK or elsewhere.

The cost of this service is £ 5.00 per calendar month, (no vat), and will be free for the initial connection period and charged for subsequent months.  (lower than Bt Openzone - from £ 5:00 + VAT / month).

Anyone requiring a connection should apply using the email link on the 'conditions of use' - after reading the 'conditions'.

Further Notes:
In order to aid security, anyone intending to use the wireless internet connection should notify Mel of their requirements and computer name.  Ideally, it would be appreciated if the computer name is set to a relevant name - see 'Conditions of Use' (a direct application can be made from the 'conditions of use' page).
This can be achieved via:
Start / Control Panel / System / Computer Name (tab) - enter boat name,
then Restart Computer.
