It might be wireless, it might be a Ethernet jack that gets to the Internet
through the hotel DSL line.
Usually you can ssh to your office.
When I was in Sidney Montana recently (pop 1,200 and big for the area) the hotel
had a Win95 box in the lobby on DSL for customer Internet access. For ssh to
the world:
http://www.google.com
search "putty download" click on "I'm feeling lucky"
click on link for putty.exe
select option to run from server
ssh away!
The same technique can work from airport Internet kiosks.
