[SGVLUG] Solving the problem of Internet connectivity at Burger Continental

[Matthew Campbell]

That is the question to coordinate with restaurant management.  I do not
know what their current infrastructure looks like.  If they have current
WiFi it's easy.  If they have Internet we can allow WiFi guests only access
to the outside, if they don't have Internet at all we have a larger problem.

This also begs the question if they don't have Wifi what liability is
assumed it providing same.  Not a question I want to get into. If they
already have a service we can expand it fairly simply.

Lan, can you provide a contact person I can call?
