[OPLINTECH] Wireless Internet

[shivelri@oplin.org]

We are a small library and had looked into using a similar service or a 
vpn. However being a small library we do not have the money to put into 
one. So instead we just use a wireless router with a WPA PSK and give 
anyone that request it the passkey.
