... no big deal, they are talking about the webpage that comes up when you login to some wirelesss network, so what's the deal ??

... unless that wireless network in insecure and you can just surf away, but then there is not redirection of a login attempt.

**Rochard** · 10-05-2004, 10:00 PM

Interesting statement.....

"According to one aspect of the invention, the method can include the step of establishing a login page to the gateway device prior to redirecting the user to the login page. The method can also include accepting user information at the login page which is thereafter utilized by the gateway device to authorize the user access to the destination network. The user profile database can be updated with the user information. "

**stocktrader23** · 10-06-2004, 12:43 AM

The only thing that's going to be funny after this is when they go after all the programs that bent over and settled with them the first go round...

And then goes after them for every other bullshit patent they pull out of their ass.

**IntenseCash** · 10-06-2004, 12:44 AM
