[Snip]

What BT have done is to use two ways of accessing your WiFi,
one private, one open. They have teamed up with Fon
www.fon.com to create a UK wide open WiFi network if you are a
BT customer. There are other Fon partners worldwide and a map
of "spots".

However if you are not with BT you can still access open WiFi
by getting a Fonera access point and adding that to your home
setup which gives you access to any worldwide Fon spot (such
as the BT ones). I have one here.

BT also dont tell you that in the UK that BT get any revenue
non BT users generate rather than the person sharing thier
bandwidth who would get the revenue in most other countries!

Fon is available all devices such as mobile phones that access
WiFi.

Right. Next problem is sending my emails. Popstar seems happy fetching
them from my 123-reg box - but I *think* sent things via pop.dsl.pipex.

Going to the BT site only seems to give details on how to set up
Thunderbird etc - not the same sort of 'codes' I have in Popstar.

I Think this is the bit I mean:-

#local_user	login_name	password	mail.isp.

And of course what various places call these things seems to be different.

I don't use POPStar for receiving mail any more (I use AntiSpam) but 
my !Boot.Choices.POPStar.Users file still has the settings, pretty 
much as you have there. This is the BTinternet one, but all the other 
ones are in the same format.

Brian<tab>username<tab>password<tab>mail.btinternet.com<tab>Y<tab>N<tab>N<tab>Y

My !Boot.Choices.POPStar.Choices starts with the following:

SMTP:relay.plus.net - yours would be mail.btinternet.com
SMTP.username:username
SMTP.password:password

The only other thing you have to do is register your domains to allow 
white-listing of your non-BTinternet email addresses. You'll probably 
need to do this on a non-RISC OS machine.

Log on with your BTinternet email address and password at 
http://uk.mail.yahoo.com/ and click on to Options at the top, then 
Mail Options in the drop down menu. Down the left hand side of the 
page, click on Mail Accounts, then use the +Add button to add 
different outgoing email addresses. If you are still receiving your 
mail OK from your other providers, ignore the option to receive these 
emails via BTYahoo! mail.

Lastly, click on POP & Forwarding and tell it to allow access to your 
BTYahoo! email via POP. Even if you never use it, you should check the 
BTYahoo! email address for incoming mail - service emails will be sent 
to the primary address as a matter of course, even if you tell them to 
use another address.

This of course is rubbish - I was looking at the wrong file in Popstar.

This is what I now have in Popstar choices:-

SMTP:smtp.mail.btinternet.com
SMTP.username:*****@btinternet.com
SMTP.password:*****
The user name and password being the BT ones.

I've tried commenting out both the user name and password separately.

This sounds interesting, is it much the same as Wetherspoons (horrid) 
system, where you have to log in to a webpage (with a compatible 
browser) or is it more like McDonalds where you only register once and 
(presumably) it remembers your MAC?

Ive set my SFR router to FON Wifi and when I've been out and
about in France *and* managed to pick up an SFR signal on my
iPod, just chose that as the service for the iPod
connection, put the password (my SFR a/c log in) in and was
talking to daughter in UK on Skype in seconds.

I've NOT managed to connect to a BT hotspot in UK though :-(

On my Android phone I download a Fon App from Google play and
log into it. When it hits a Fon spot it automatically logs me
in - the same way it does when it encounters my prtected home
WiFi.

You can use the Fon site to get a map of partner telcos and
coverage.

I'm on PAYG, and bought my phone - a Nokia N95 mainly for the excellent
camera. So ain't willing to buy another just for the sake of it. It finds
the 'fon' sites but won't let me log on. And I can't find an app to sort
this. If it won't work I'll have to find out how to turn off the fon
signal from my router - out of spite. ;-)

Perhaps contact them to try and sort it out? And make sure they know 
you will stop sharing, if you don't get a good result.

I have got around similar issues of login systems designed by 
lazy/stupid designers with opera mini (NOT mobile), when the built in 
browser doesn't work.

Doesn't bode well for being able to log in with Netsurf though

I have an N8, (symbian) fon sounds like a good idea, but are you 
limited to one device? (I'd like to use my Pi, if Netsurf can be used)

I've a feeling symbian is the problem with my Nokia - what little Googling
I did suggested no one can be bothered writing an app for that and Fon.

But I'd love to be wrong.
