make that windows - not widows, that were blown out in the storm. Sorry. It's late, I'm tired.

One of them is in Port Charlotte which took a direct shot from hurricane Charley on Friday. Fortunately, all our buildings there are made out of poured concrete and can take just about anything a hurricane can dish out. But we did have some roof problems, blown out widows, and no power or water. We don't expect to have any of this back anytime soon either. Our employees are also dealing with their own disasters. Amazingly, there entire are has no phone services, no cell services, but our AT&T frame relay is up and running just fine and never went down. The terminals we have running on auxiliary power are running and connecting just fine. We are moving all of our residents to a couple nice hotels in Tampa (Harbor Island for those who know Tampa) while we straighten out our location in Port Charlotte and make it livable again. This gets fun because I have to set up remote offices at the hotels for operations and activities. I have a Watchguard firebox at out main office and can easily make a VPN connection with another Watchguard device at the hotel. From there, terminals can connect back to my metaframe farm with no trouble. The trick is that the connection available to me is wireless. I am trying to find a device (quick) that will bridge the wireless connection available at the hotel to my Watchguard as the external connection. Since we started this on a Sunday, I have not yet had a chance to ask the IT staff at the hotel for a wired connection. I am organizing on a worst case scenario and just wanted to get some ideas from everyone. all ideas greatly appreciated!
