SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a unique code that tells a notebook computer which wireless network to connect to. AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Zones are configured to broadcast an SSID that allows a wireless adapter/card to detect and use the AT&T Wi-Fi wireless network. If you have a non-AT&T Wi-Fi SSID, you may not be able to connect to the AT&T Wi-Fi wireless network. This is because your wireless card will only listen to signals with the SSID that you have specified.

David, here’s what I think to do: Subscribe to Steve J’s .Mac service for my mac-equipped family that live on 3 different continents. With that, we can have email, iChat, calender & contact syncing, auto online mac backup w 2GB storage, auto drag-n-drop file upload/download & sharing (all formats), web site creation & publishing with group features, photocasting etc, etc. That would set me back $180 per year.
