        You'll still hit it.  The router will be given the local IP just
like a lappy would, and you'll hit it via the NAT'd connection.  Do it
all the time.

                What if that broadband router has to interact with a log
on page?

                        2.      A linksys 4 port BB router, to  plug in
between the hotels BB, and his notebook, which I think will do the
trick nicely. 
                        3.      
                        4.      
                        5.      A wireless broadband card, just in

                        6.      
                        7.      
                        8.      A second notebook with the companys SOE
on it,  also just in case.
