I'll kick this forum topic off. Our local Panera bread (Breckenridge and Dutchmans Lane, Louisville KY) has free 802.11b access now. SSID id is PANERA. They have a nice pamphlet that explains how to set up and connect along with an 866 number to call for help if you totally get stuck. VPN
is supported!
I haven't used it yet, but I picked up a pamphlet for future use. It looks like it has been well thought out and is being rolled out to many of their restaurants. Their website (
Panera Bread WIFI ) shows current locations.
