keep in mind that most hotels, when refering to "data ports" mean a phone jack that you can use to dial out on.

it also means you're subject to the hotel's local phone rates, which, are generally undesirable

well, if local calls are free... you could set something up dialing into Netzero for free

Well as I said, it's designed to be sold to ISPs, so it's expensive relative to consumer products like 802.11 (but pretty cheap compared to most other ISP equipment).

A starter kit that includes one access point and two subscriber units is $2500.

How do I find my AirPort's ID? Will I have to do something special that our Tech Service would have to unlock since our iBooks are locked down?

I have a sony with an 802.11b card which I use to tap into my airport on my network. What will I have to do to make it so that I can tap in at nats?

I've seen a few 802.11b mods online that will allow you to build a transmitter that can broadcast 1-2 miles using a pringles can and some cabling. It's very uni-directional though, so you'd probably have to put a reciever somewhere and rebroadcast the signal into the hotel. Cost of pringles can: $3.50. Cost of cabling, $10. If you can be so precise as to aim it at your hotel window, I'd guess you'd be in good shape

Aww... cmon, where's the fun in buying stuff... it's so much more fun to jury-rig things and take 5 times as long to get them working...

True, however, it is immensely more fun to use pringles cans, especially when you get to eat the pringles while jury-rigging
