I just spent the weekend with my family in Philly, staying at the Wyndham
Frankiln Plaza, and I brought my T42P along even though the web site
didn't specify broadband access in the rooms. Since I have their Wyndham
by Request program I get free room internet access if the hotel has it.
Turns out they have both wired and wireless access in the rooms.
I booted up the T42p with eCS 1.2, using a Cisco 350 PCMCIA card and set
xWLAN to Public Hotspot and it found the hotel WiFi network immediately.
All I had to do was startup Firefox and I got their signin page. I put in
my Wyndham By Request ID and room number and had internet access all
weekend. I almost hated the fact that we were out of the room all day.
Though watching an Imax version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at
the Franklin Institute was pretty cool as well.
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That in it's essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power." Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Message proposing the Monopoly Investigation, 1938
