Your right about hotels and wireless connections. They can be very bad
especially at night when most people are back in their rooms. i had the
exact same problem that you describe just a few weeks ago. I, fortunately,
had my Treo 700w and PDANet software to access the EVDO network and that
took care of my problems. That might be a solution but if your using VPN
software like Cisco then even that type of solution may not work because of
how the VPN software ties into the NIC's. If your using CSG or even CAG you
should be just fine.
