My experience with hotel wireless is it is: 1. brain dead and Linux hostile 2. pay-to-play and _very_ expensive 3. spotty coverage, as in "that end of the main lobby" Several conventions/shows I've been to had their own wireless in the convention area. So the hotels at least tolerate it. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
