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.
