Couple of days away with the wife was great !I recommend it to any who
can get some dope to pay for it.
Company has coughed up the dollars, which are in our account tonight !
And, low and behold,
I have another user at a Hotel in Adelaide tonight, from the BB in the
room, only port 80 and 443 allowed, everything else is blocked. They
actually have a card attached to the cable that says 'only web browsing
is allowed' from this connection.
This is getting dammed annoying !
What use is a BB in a hotel room to a corporate traveller, if the only
thing allowed is web browsing, and they charge $17.50 / night for the
privilege ?
Anyone have any leads on if there is some program out there that will
allow connection through port 80, and allow file downloads. This guy was
to download a PowerPoint presentation his secretary had updated today,
for a client tomorrow.

What about Tom's earlier suggestion if he only needs his e-mail to use
Outlook 2003 with RPC/HTTP and eliminate the VPN? Very easily/nicely
setup with SBS 2003.

Plan is, I am going to take;
1. A linksys 4 port BB router, to plug in between the hotels BB,
and his notebook, which I think will do the trick nicely.
2. A wireless broadband card, just in case.
3. A second notebook with the companys SOE on it, also just in
case.
4. My Wife, it will be a nice little day or two away for us.
