I recently decided to get a 'Fon Spot' to connect to my home broadband allowing me access to the millions of Fon Spots all over the UK when out and about. Pretty much everyone who has BT Broadband offers a free Wifi Fon Spot whether they know it or not. Anyone with a Fon / BT membership can login and use it free of charge.
Being cheap I had a google to see if there were any other options besides buying the Fon Simpl which is about £35 + postage. I came across this french blog site which has several unofficial Fonbasic firmware files. I just so happened to already own a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 which I used to use for wireless netbooting before making a CF reader. Although it is said to be untested it works great and my Fon account allowed me to login to the neighbors wifi within 20 minutes of signing up. So there you have it a cheaper (or free in my case) option to buying a Fon Simpl.
I have also fixed all the download links yet again.
