P.S. Okay, after reading the thread, yes, there was two places I stopped, Holiday Inns, that provided DSL. But I didn't need to bring an Ethernet cable, they had their own going into the wall. My laptop has an Ethernet port, so I could use it. So make sure your laptop is both wifi enabled and has an Ethernet port and you are covered.
When I traveled last year I was still using AOL with dial up and found it a good back-up. If a motel didn't have wifi or an Ethernet cable, then they usually had a modem port on their phones (which maybe most people don't realize). I did take my own extra phone cord with me, no one provided it (and I would find out what was a local number, AOL can be called through local numbers, so I would incur no extra phone charge). However, one usually has to pay, like with AOL, for an ISP that will use modem connections. Now I connect with with broadband to Comcast, so one has to pay for DSL connections too. Motels' DSL, however, they use their own systems, so you don't need your own broadband ISP for that.
