Bob,
Most of the time motels have a card on the desk which will say what the SSID is.  I haven't had a problem yet finding the correct network when traveling.  But I have had to boot to Windoze before to get the info I needed so I can connect on the OS/2 side.

How do you find what connections are available for connection?  I have
wlanstst.exe and it seems to want to connect to the strongest signal which is
not always what I want unless I have already defined a profile (and selected
it) with an SSID specified.  When traveling I do not know in advance the SSID
for the hotels wireless and getting the information from the hotel staff is
almost hopeless.
