My issue regarding connecting to the internet at a hotel, etc. is that I use a cable modem for high speed internet use at home. When I recently took a trip to New York City and tried to connect to the internet at the Marriott, I could not. I didn't know what to do and it really was not that important so I didn't press the issue. But I would like to know for the future; how does someone like myself log on if they don't have a dial-up ISP (AOL, MSN, etc.)?? Thanks!!
