| To connect to the Avila AUSECURE wireless network, you must be running either Windows XP SP2 on a PC, or Mac OS X 10.3 or above on a Macintosh computer. Additionally, you must have a wireless network card or built-in wireless network connection that supports WPA (WiFi Protected Access). Most laptops sold today will have WPA capability, and most Mac OS X computer will support WPA as well. Also, most add-in wireless cards available today will support WPA.
