Internet access at ORD

Hi,
I'll be in ORD next week en route to SFO and would may need to get online during the layover. I have heard of the Laptop Lane there.
Does anyone have experience with this place? Is there a charge for access? What about any specific hardware requirement (ethernet card etc)? I'm not a member of RCC or elite level on UA.
thanks for your response

I have not used Laptop Lane myself but I have noticed that there are 2 in Terminal 1 (sounds like you're flying UA). One is in Concourse B down by gate B5 (IIRC) and the other is in the connecting tunnel between concourse B & C, under the escalators to B & close to the escalators to baggage claim. I would figure there's a charge for access but they have their own desktop PCs there so you wouldn't have to worry about equipment. Not sure what their policy & requirements are for using your own laptop though. HTH...

According to their web site at http://www.laptoplane.com/ they charge $5.00 for the first 5 minutes, and 65 cents for each addtional minute.

You can either use their desktop PCs, or plug your laptop in to their network via DHCP.

Thanks for your suggestions AnnaS and dmfriedman! Yes I am flying UA. I hope to use the Laptop Lane facilities while I'm at ORD tomorrow evening.

That is one hefty charge. Any other options at all outside of the clubs.

A few of the payphones have a modem jack, but that's not exactly the most comfortable working environment.
