What do I need?
Firstly you need a BTb-line
account. Buy one here for
only £10. This will allow you
access at most BT Openzone hotspots.
A laptop computer (PDA's are not supported)
When using BT Openzone, ideally your laptop should
be running Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft
Windows
98, Microsoft
Tablet XP, Linux
2.2 kernal upwards, and Apple O/S 9.0 upwards *.
The BT Openzone service works through your usual web browser.
The service is optimised for Internet Explorer 5 or Internet Pocket
Explorer.
Wireless LAN Capablity
You will need a wireless LAN card or built-in Wireless LAN Capability.
Laptops take PCMCIA cards.
Any devices that are IEEE 802.11b and Wi-Fi certified should work
with BT Openzone. We recommend the Linksys PCMCIA network card.
To be near a BT Openzone HotSpot
Hotspots are available in selected public locations
across the UK. Hotspots extend between 70-100m, enough to cover
a large site. See a list of locations here.
* note
BTb-line international dialup service is only available on
Windows 98SE or higher. |
