OT: Bezeq's wireless sharing scheme

[Geoff Shang]

Hi,

Please excuse the off-topic post but I figured someone here would probably 
know.

We have a Bezeq NGN router.  Bezeq now has a scheme (the name of which I 
can't remember) where you can sacrifice a meg of your bandwidth for use by 
other Bezeq customers in exchange for said access to other people's 
routers all over the country.  I've also read that they're trialing access 
to an international program of wireless access that usually costs you 
money (I believe it's called iPass).  This trial is currently set to run 
till the end of October but I'm hopeful they'll extend it.

Now at least with our NGN router, the configuration of our Internet access 
has had to be done remotely.  I have not managed to find the settings 
which enables our Internet conection to work, either before or after 
they've configured it, which already makes me a bit uncomfortable.

I'm quite keen on this program in principle, as it appeals to my socialist 
tendancies.

My only concern is whether the process which configures our router for 
this program (which is also performed remotely) will undo the many local 
customisations I've made for our local network.  Do they just adjust the 
relevant settings or do they shove in a configuration file that replaces 
the previous one and knocks out any local customisations in the process?

Since I figured someone here is likely to have already done this, I was 
hoping someone here could tell me.

Thanks in advance,
Geoff.
