All my laptops (and PDA's) have wireless...That's essentially why I use a
wiflyer (http://www.wiflyer.com , wireless travel router that connects to
both ethernet AND has a built in dialup modem, and since I mostly use
wireless, if I have something big, and the motel doesn't have high speed, I
just find free wifi when I go out to eat....

Just an aside, there are certain broadband providers that will *NOT* let you
access your email, unless you on their system directly.... Had to change
mail providers a few times to find one that worked no matter how I connect
(not a problem if you are in one place, always connecting the same way, but
as I said, I travel a lot, and having one/same email address for the last 12
years no matter where I am at, has been a lifesaver )
